MK and DS pictures

[hunter]

I've never asked for a photo but I did bump into MK (and his family) on the street in Hay on Wye and I asked him to sign my MK strat so I guess I'm just as bad.

Yes. That is kind of bad LOL

I’d driven my wife and 8 week old baby 600 miles to see him, and carted a guitar neck in the hope of getting him to sign it. I had to make a split second decision to stop him or not. I kind of felt it was a once in a lifetime thing, bumping into your hero in the street so I went for it.

He could have said no but he didn’t!

I love all these stories, and how nice MK nearly always responds to these requests with dignity, making funny jokes or comments, he really digs it. I heard just a few stories when MK was angry with such requests, and usually, it was a situation when you clearly don't want to disturb people. In order to piss somebody like MK you need to be a grand champion of stupidity. That includes even working with him

If I ever see Mark on the street, I will only come up to him if he isn't wearing those ugly trainer shoes he seems to use on every occasion.

He's at the point when comfort is over looks, I guess. My mom said trainers are the best type of shoes for elderly people, and even some of my peers have a strong bond with trainers. I, however, never had a single pair of trainers yet, but maybe, when I'm 72, I'll love them.

I saw him in London back in 2016. We were alone in the street and I was completed paralyzed, when I  recohnized  him. But I enjoyed the moment and didnt ask for an autograph or pic, as I was too shy  :'  however it was a very special moment for me and I wont forget it

I think this is a great point: even without signatures and photos is was still memorable. The photo or a signature will go on the shelf somewhere, to be seen once in a decade, but the memories are far better thing to own. And you certainly can't sell it on eBay

I have a colage of pictures framed in my office room at home, in which I'm with MK, John, David, Hal, Alan, Guy, Chris White, Ed Bicknell, Phil Palmer and Danny Cummings...

During years attending MK concerts, I was lucky to meet all of them, and decided to take the risk and having a negative answer by them, but in the contrary, all of them were happy enough and some even very funny and kind. Including MK, and I was lucky enought that it was before the times where he only possed for pics inside his car.

So, what do you wear when you go out walking?    I walk around 6 miles each day wearing trainers and if the terrain is going to be rough I wear boots.   I'm just curious!

Well it's got to be a "quality shoe" of course from Dr Scholl!  Then get the tootsies in the foot spa when you get home! 😂

Oh, don't take it seriously superval, it was a joke. It's just that I've always associated MK with classy footwear over the years. I remember seeing him during the 2010 and 2015 tour and he was wearing a pair of beautiful browns, and also during the OES Tour. Now he just reminds me of an elementary school kid. I am terribly afraid that he will decide to do a few shows in 2023 and he'll be wearing a pair of green crocs.

Yes, I loved those brown boots that MK wore in 2010.     Regarding trainers, everyone, young and old, wear trainers these days - I don't know anyone who doesn't and I just wondered what Quizzy wore instead.    Incidentally, I just bought a new pair of trainers today - lightweight ones for the summer!

Congrets on the new trainers, superval99!    I got me a new pair the other week. I love trainers and even my hero does.  Awesome!

These two are from Direstraitsuniverse on Insta. "Mark, Terry Williams and Malcolm Aitken outside Andy's Bar on Montserrat, during the recording of Brothers In Arms in 1984. Photo by Guy Fletcher." And "During the recording of the Princess Bride soundtrack in 1987". Old ones, obviously!, but I can't remember seeing them before. Sorry if they are way too large, I just made screenshots

[Pottel]

saw them on Bruno's insta too. not seen them before.
