An Evening With Mark Knopfler

[JohnnyDee]

If you have access to Sky Arts and love the guitar, and Mark Knopfler, then do yourself a massive favour and watch this show.

I promise you, it's nothing short of sheer brilliance and a total inspiration!

Several of these on YouTube and they are really good! Particularly like the story of his '6 Guitars' with Straits bassist John Ilsley.

Probably not 'the greatest' guitarist, but love his music and style. Very distinctive and as pickable as a guest as Kenny Gee's saxaphone or Bruce Hornsby's piano! Sailing to Philidelphia album also features a couple of my other favouites - James Taylor and Van Morrison. Albums never quite blow me away with every track like Dire Straits ones did, but do demonstrate his (and the guitar's) versatility!
