Pretty good made, this video. I heard his music at the age of seventeen in nineteeneighty but later on I lost it for about fifteen Years. As I saw him on TV about twenty Years ago with the songs postcards from Paraquay and Rudiger, my eyes immidiatly went to tears. What a wonderful man he is. Greetings from Germany

Mark is the only rock musician that interests me. His guitar picking is art and his composing is so unique.

Always loved Mark Knopfker’s music. His poetic style and guitar playing are legendary.

[lobomorunga]

Rock and Roll, by definition, is impossible to define. And, therefore impossible to redefine. It encompasses such a gigantic sphere of interest and fantastic artistry, that to elevate one to the top, denigrates the rest.
As one old Irish lady once said, "Music (inc R&R} is the soul of the world, embedded in sound." When aliens finally come and invade the Earth, they will probably wonder what the fuss was all about. Thank you Mark Knopfler.

..I grew up on Hendrix and always found Knopfler's guitar style anaemic..

[johnkennedy]

Clearly you know nothing about the man other than what is in the public domain. Waste of time.
