      Hi! MK is as cool as jazz. I love the stories, his voice (glad he stopped smoking), and his guitar is a third voice. The CD with ELH is excellent and one of my favorites. My favorite MK tune? Hmmm... have to think about that one. Did anyone see MK in concert in 2008? Did anyone meet him? Thanks for sharing! wheykool

      He's got it all. He's a poet with a phenomenal understanding of harmony, meter, melody, rhythm and tempo who has "mastered" the guitar..........and is, just possibly, a gentleman to boot! In other words Knopfler IS..........WHAT IT IS...........at it's very best!!!
