I know it's already in the tags, but red Reebok hi-tops and a white sweat band can only mean *80s!

As for Knopfler, his virtuosity and musicianship are impeccable. Some of his best is, imho, the country music he's recorded... check out the "Notting Hillbillies", his album with Chet Atkins is superb, and his more recent projects with Emmylou Harris are stunning.

Tofumar, maybe you need to listen to a song called "Cleaning this gun" by Rodney Atkins. Hilarious.

Oh you know it. Just hearing him makes you happy. Thanks for the embed too

I aim to play the heart-strings. I actually thought of pm'ing you about that one, and this one (http://www.videosift.com/video/Chet-Atkins-Medley-on-Johnny-Cash-show) 'cause of your "fingerpickin' good" list, but never got around to it. Chet is one of the good guys.

PS. If you check your Tiger Rag sift, I've put a fixed embed in a comment for you.

Atkin's nickname is "Mr. Guitar." He's worth getting to know. Here the wiki on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chet_Atkins

He died in 2001 leaving behind an amazing musical legacy. For instance, he and Mark Knopfler made an album together entitled "Neck and Neck." If you can find it, buy it. You will be blown away.

I don't know who Chet Atkins is, but now I guess I'm going to have to find out.

Come VS..VOTE! This is Chet Atkins!
