Just returned from a short break in our holiday home in Cornwall.
How spooky or what but on Monday (Day of Release) we (Mrs Knopflerfan and I) both walked into an 'independant' record shop in Bude, Cornwall to purchase a '2 disc' edition because we couldn't wait until our return today to listen to the album, but anyway we literally walked in the door and 'Redbud tree' was playing on the store sound system!! I got talking to the owner and he too was an MK fan (Who isn't??)
So back to the thread after endlessly listening to the wonderful fresh feel album I will go for 'Corned Beef City' as an opener along with 'Redbud tree' with a longer 'MK Strat' solo. We both feel 'Dream of the Drowned submariner' should be the closing number as it like PTTE is very moving.... I am wondering if again Like Piper is there any link to MK's distant family there??
