MK featured in Chris Barber documentary

[Suprlinda]

Good morning all.  If I'm not mistaken, this version, trombone and all, is the same one Mark did when he guested on Garrison Keillor's The Prairie Home Companion.  It was August 16, 2006, and Emmy Lou was also on the program.  They did several songs through five segments of the program, and ended the last one, segment 5, with The Next Time I'm in Town.  The first time I heard that trombone, I could hardly believe it!

It isn't the same as the Chris Barber version though, is it?   Just a similar one.

It isn't the same as the Chris Barber version though, is it?   Chris isn't mentioned in The Prairie Home Companion show. 

definitely not the same

We were also at Ronnie Scott's when Chris Barber played. But I came into this popular music malarkey from jazz. In my youth, I saw many American jazz musicians (the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Woody Herman, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Smith, Roland Kirk and others, some of them more than once), plus lots and lots of British jazzers of the time (the Tubby Hayes Big Band in a place no bigger than Scott's was literally and metaphorically a real blast, the music entering your body and soul). From there to the classic blues and on to country blues and from there to folk and on to folk rock. It was a steady downward trend. And now I post on a Mark Knopfler forum - draw your own conclusions!

I don't reckon it was a downward trend at all!  The very fact that  you enjoyed all of those different genres means it was good music!   

I have been a lifelong listener to all kinds of classical music, but I also love folk, blues and, of course MK and lots of others too!  If what I am listening to gives me pleasure, then it's simply good music - not better or worse, just different!

OK, I'll take my tongue out of my cheek. For me, classical music wends its way in and out of my life - mainly recorded these days but in concert when younger.  Enjoying a wide range of music is one of life's greatr pleasures, I agree.

To return to MK at Ronnie Scott's, if anyone has a recording of a show there in which someone suddenly shouts, "It's Bobby Valentino" - that was me. Sorry!

Of course he's played with Bob, hasn't he?

He did.
