    WHOAH Marco you don't know what you've started.

    That was wonderful. That black suit & white shirt....

    Not the best vocal performance of it he's ever done, I must say.

    Now those of you from England may enjoy this:

    I think we have another Keith Urban topic here, folks. But this one is for me.

    NEW ALBUM is called Kill To Get Crimson and is out next month.

    See Marco - I told you you'd regret it.

    Oh FP that was fun Mark is looking his age a bit, I thought. Nice to see Bill Oddie. Thanks.

    I've expected your reaction, FP. Very cool video.

    I don't want to go overboard here, but now the topic exists....

    I don't know why Brothers In Arms is such a great song. I suppose the 'anti-war' message could be regarded as cliched. But from the beginning when he talks about the soldiers' lives in the 'mist covered mountains' but remembering the lowlands, it just enthrals me from start to finish. This is one of MK's guitar performances which can make me cry (the other is the ultimate, Romeo & Juliet).

    Um.

    I also love Your latest Trick, Love Over Gold.

    Money For Nothing, Walk of Life, Tunnel Of Love, Sultan Of Swing & Telegraph Road are more rock

    Dang, that was amazing. Superb guitar playing from Mr Knopfler and an awesome song.

    I'm probably repeating myself, but this was the song of our year in Hong Kong, being our first ever cd purchased. 20 years ago, sigh!

    I'm looking forward to the new album in a couple of weeks.

    There is a great deal I could write about here but I would just repeat myself.

    You may have already seen this, Julie, an article from Total Guitar, Oct 2004. My scanner isn't great, but if you save it to my pictures, then zoom in, it is legible.

    Awww, thanks Kate, it's nice to know 'I am not alone'. I love it when he plays that Gibson Sunburst which is the same as Glenn's. As for the National (sigh)....

    Re the 'grumpy old man' thing - I read similar stuff about Henley from time to time. I've never heard anything about MK other than that he's a really nice person.
