    Wow, lonely thread here. While I wouldn't call myself a huge fan, he is a great musician. Dire Straits Alchemy Live is one helluva an album . I'll have to check out that new one.

    I'm more of a fan of his guitar playing than anything. His solo stuff doesn't resemble Dire Straits ---- I'd say it's more along the line of traditional/folk --- very British/Scottish --very good.

    Mark is a great player. Wish I could have seen him when he toured with Eric Clapton! Right now I'm listening to his album with Emmylou Harris!

    Knopfler is best known as lead guitarist & singer for Dire Straits. I believe he also did the soundtrack for the movie "The Princess Bride".
