I saw True North's production of a documentary film about Mark Knopfler a month or so ago. I hadn't, to my chagrin, really followed him since his days at Dire Straits. I liked him as a person and as a performer and became quite engaged watching the film at his musical journey. I ordered his new double CD: Privateering whch I haven't stopped playing and I have booked tickets to see him at the Royal Albert Hall next May.
