Re: Mark Knopfler is an absolute genius....

So true.

Take "Golden Heart", for example -- Vic & Ray, Done With Bonaparte, Rütiger-- among others. Songs most people have never heard.

I like playing the guitar bridge from Rütiger. Simple, but so soulful.
A microcosm of Knopfler's style.

I haven't got my copy of Shangra La yet. Best Buy was sold out.

BTW, hey, Neshie!
