MK event Sept. 27

[Knopflerfan]

Recording is fine through my phone but on my audio equipment the volume needs turning up more than normal..... Have a copy in mp3 and 3.g?? file

I really love the little bit where Mark is concentrating on breaking down parts on BIA and showing how the majority of the tune is improvised... Then the highlight for me was starting BIA with the MK Strat!!! So a nice twangy start instead - MK wasnt keen on it but he was showing us how the guitars fit into tunes/songs.. Fascinating.... And yes Im still high as a kite!!!!

And, I should have said: Mark kept referring to Guy as "Guy-us" - to rhyme with Caius, for those of a literary or classical bent.

Love those little details!  Make us feel like we missed absolutely nothing of the event.

I'm actually wondering if Mark calls Guy - 'Gaius' as in the character from the wonderful BBC series Merlin played by the wonderful actor Richard Wilson...
Look at the resembelance between Gaius and Guyt and also Gaius' character was the royal physican at the court of king Uther Pendragon of Camelot not unlike Guy!!!

No, it is for another reason, to do with his email addy, my guess

Guy is such an old name (Guy of Gisborne anyone?)  that a well-read person like Mark must say "Guyus" - the latin variant so to say. He also says "Guy" (Gee) when in France, calls Richard Rocking Ricardo, says Jimbo to Jim Cox, Matty to Matt Rollings and so on.. It did not take long that Ian Thomas became Ianto, didn't it? I am sure that was Mark's idea, too. it all started with the 96ers, in early DS days he was not relaxed enough to do it. I don't think Guyus has any other meaning than just one syllable more. What other nickname would you give a person called Guy?

Caius (Norbanus Sorex) was a theater actor, who played the second fiddle in the performances.

The "Caius" in Caius College at Cambridge University rhymes with "keys", so it is pronounced "Kees College". Its full name is Gonville and Caius College but it is usually just referred to simply as "Caius" (or rather, as "Kees").  And it was named after John Caius, who was actually born John Kays.

Thank you knopfler fan and twm! (and your better halfs! ;-) )
Too bad twm didn't ask the bootleg series question, even though either answer would rather have no meaning. ;-)
