Music should be taught in school in India 🇮🇳 and Mark Knopfler should be one of the genius musicians to write ✍ the syllabus. Music 🎶 🎵 ⏹ 🪕 🎼 is a gateway to joy and peace ✌.

The first sentence is correct, the second one is a lie.

I could listen to Mark play guitar for hours at a time, the sound he makes with the strings is like no other. I am in my 60's and fell in love with his music as a teen and never stopped loving his unique sound. Don't ever ask me for a favorite song, there are too many.

I only feel the sweet nostalgia of my upbringing from songs like "Molesting the Decapitated" by Devourment and 'Meathook Sodomy', ' Entrails Ripped From Virgin's' from Cannibal Corpse. Now THOSE remind me of the soothing lullabies one of my nannies used to sing to me.....before...well before she was decapitated and her entrails somehow ended up being used to re-string my "dad's" set of tennis rackets.

I know it's not Knopfler playing, but this is beautiful. Knopfler always has been such a genuine guitar player, even without the lyrics it's so damn obvious what the songs are about.
