ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE STRAITS OF DIRE PT.2 END

THIS IS AN ENCORE- I AM ON VACATION!

Continuing on with Dire Straits, their next album was Love Over Gold.
The title was taken from some graffitti they saw!
It was their first # 1 album in the UK.
After a song from that album, I wanna play a good old piece of Rock & Roll, that I knew as a B-side to a single I had by Dire Straits. Turns out, over in England it was on an EP.
As we talked about previously, they still love those EP’s in England.
Brothers In Arms was their next album, a huge hit.
And the title track was the World’s 1st CD single!
In fact, the album was one of the first CD’s around to choose from.
I’ll bring this show home with an appropriate song…but clumsily and I apologize.
I had fun doing this one and I think you can hear it in me!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE STRAITS OF DIRE PT.1

THIS IS AN ENCORE- I AM ON VACATION!

Here’s a live show I did 3 years ago.
My brain melting with the 3 H’s- hazy, hot and humid.
Plus my left ear was clogged so I could hear almost nothing (unclogged the next day at a doctor’s office).
And, trooper that I am, you would never have suspected!
Now that I have bored the crap out of you about my physical state that day, here is the 1st part of the show, featuring Dire Straits.
I’ll have the biography of the band, with a great story about their unassuming demeanor.
The band owes a great debt to a woman at Warner Bros. A&R Department right here in New York- without her they may have gone unnoticed.
Although Mark Knopfler’s beautiful and inventive guitar playing would have inevitably been discovered by someone!
We’ll start at the beginning, and hear a terrific band grow into more complex arrangements.
Good Music!
