Digression ...

Albert Lee is of course most famous for his hot country picking, but his slow lyrical playing is equally awesome. Not dissimilar to Mark's phrasing. Check this out:

This is the best MK forum. The guy asked if we knew about Albert Lee's version, and we simply covered him up with all the info available.  :D
Now let's try something similar with "Lions", one of my favorite songs.  ;)

As for dairy straights  ;D I guess it is like the sort of names tribute bands use, in order to attract attention while at the same time making clear that they are not the genuine  thing, all in a playful and elegant way. Do not dare think what an MK tribute band would call themselves.   
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

To me this sounds a bit like a Notting Hillbillies song.
I think it's the song called 'Hobos Lullaby'

Anyone else think that?

Yeah, there are some similarities. Similar vibe. And there's a lick in there that Mark also plays (di li di li di liiii - haha).
