The Kaya Reunion did a tasteful two-Ric version of "Sultans of Swing" at the SCARF-Ricktoberfest®

Mark Knopfler - that combination of gravel voice and sweet fingerstyle strat tone was just the max!

Mark has (or had) a great band and he's also an amazing guitar player. :D

They're the best. Full stop. (IMHO, of course.)

Gee, i couldn't have imagined that anything available on youtube for my country could be unavailable in others (usually, it's vice versa). :roll: Sorry.
Anyway, whatcha gonna do about it. I could have talked for hours about how much i love Mark & Co, how great they are, etc. But it's just words, words, words. Their music speaks for itself.
My personal favourite.
