Mark and Dire Straits were extraordinary !!!!!

He is on my TV as I type. (If I'm awake, he is on my TV )

His solo career is amazing !!!!

He latest album was released in 2024.

It is called One Deep River.

Scavenger's Yard is my favorite.

It has some filthy guitar licks on it.

He was 75 when he recorded it.

He writes the lyrics, he writes the music, he composes the music, he sings lead, and plays lead guitar.

He is a magical, musical, genius.

I am in awe of Mark's brilliance !!!!!!

What an amazing gift the world was given the day Mark was born !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His music moves me to tears.

I can't comprehend how someone can have so much talent.

They opened with Lady Writer & ended with this.
The encore included Down By The Waterline.
We, from sheer luck, ended up with seats so good we were only a bit farther from Mark than the camera in this video.
Those first 2 albums were superb.
BTW: this video is a good display of the drummer. That guy is a monster!
