Here is Eric Johnson performing "Cliffs of Dover" on Austin City Limits, 1988.
There are many Eric Johnson performances of this song, my favorite of his, to be found on the intertubes, and I have watched and studied them all, but this one tops my list.
Your pilgrim has studied avidly and practiced the song, of course, and can even imagine putting together a respectable performance, given world enough and time. But: Your pilgrim does not mind telling you: To be able to play this way, so awesomely, I would be *tempted* to make that deal Robert Johnson did, as legend has it, down at the Crossroads.
Also, don't mind tellin ya: Wow. So handsome.
