Keith Burgess-Jackson, J.D., Ph.D.

Disraeli Gears (1967). John Sullivan is aghast (and I think a little disappointed) that I don't like Eric Clapton. I have to admit, this song—"Sunshine of Your Love"—impresses me. I've heard it dozens of times in my life (I was 10 years old when it was released), but never gave it much thought. (Truth be told, I always considered it simplistic.) Now that I'm learning how to play it on my acoustic guitar, I have a new appreciation both for the complexity of the song and for Clapton's talent as a guitarist and songwriter. (This is not to take away from Jack Bruce or Ginger Baker, who are also superb musicians.)
