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!  |
Golden Heart is the MK album I listen to most often, all songs great. Fantastic moods.

I did something to myself. Like entertainment, like music, like a daydream. There was nothing there and I saw something.

DO YOU PLAY BRIDGE? |
