I only have one record of his when he was in Dire Straits. Brothers in arms, a great record. A cool song on another record is "Sultans of Swing". That's all I know about him so I'm not a big fan really.

. My master of classic guitar, many years ago, said to me that the silence is much important in a song and I think that Knopfler give to us a good example of that (listen private investigation)

QUOTE (lefty01 @ Sep 19 2007, 09:48 PM) Mark did a CD with Chet Atkins, called "Neck To Neck",... I think thats the name of it. I only heard a few tracks on it, but what I did hear, I really enjoyed. You might want to check that out too. I know Amazon will have one, if they are still in print. Just checked Amazon, they do have it. It came out in Sept. of 1990. Enjoy. Oh,you shot me to the bone!! There's a tune Tears,written by Django Rainthard...they did quite awesome version tho.

Saw Mark a few years ago do an 'un-announced'/no publicity gig in the NE a few years ago with a couple of local players. He was amazing - great musician and great to see someone of his stature in a small venue. I also Dire Straits many years ago when they were still very much a pub circuit band before they hit the big time - even then it was clear that he (and they) were destined for something big.
Have to say that I've seen a lot of 'play like' Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler - and also SRV ones - and Muris' have been to date by far the best. He nails the technique and the tone and the whole vibe really well. Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
