MK - Christmas Connections?

[Knopflerfan]

Not at all Christmas but it's a mistake friends & Colleagues have made to the opening of 'Remembrance Day' with the Morris Dancing 'bells' at the start which people have mistaken for  Sleigh bells!

The truck driver in Corned Beef City also comes home for Christmas:)

Driving home for Christmas??!!!

[Robson]

Yes, but the MK version is without small bells

Yes, but the MK version is without small bells

If you are referring to RD then I suggest you listen to the first 4 seconds to clearly hear Morris Dancing Bells that then fade into the opening....

Again, there isn't a direct Christmas link, but it always gives me the feeling of the last few days before Christmas, the song being Radio City Serenade, it is a song that doesn't get talked about much, but I love it, it is a great example of one of Mark's songs that really sets a scene, you can see what he is describing in your minds eye, it just has that atmosphere of that time if year.

'Before gas and tv' gives me a kind of happy, sad, melancholic Christmas feeling, even if there is no direct connection.

I wish Mark and Guy would give us a little greeting from the studio, just a photo or to and a little hi. I miss them, in a way only other fans understand..

Yes I get that too!

As to Mark and Guy saying hi, I’m actually spending Christmas with them………..at 10 Downing Street. Open invite this year for the Christmas party.

Yes! I feel the same. Always I wonder why there is no pause between Got to Have Something and Radio City...

The Ragpicker's dream and Old pigweed for me too.

And also the very beginning of Remembrance Day… sounds like the bells of Santa Claus' sledge.

Exactly what I've been saying! People mistake it for just that rather than Morrismens bells!!!
