Music:
Billy Cobham's "Heather"


My father Billy Cobham wrote the composition  called "Heather". He wrote it in 1973 while on tour with the Mahavishnu Orchestra in Japan and  recorded it on the "Crosswinds" album a few months later. Dad says, "What is ironic about the use of this piece is I wrote it while sitting down not 100 meters from the Atomic Dome and museum in Hiroshima, the site of another disaster of cosmic proportions".
