Dire Straits, Telegraph Road- A Classical Musician’s First Listen and Reaction

#direstraits
After my first listen of “Brothers In Arms”, I was eager for my next meeting with Dire Straits and especially with Mark Knopfler’s guitar or, the way I like to call it, “his second voice”. I had high expectations and I was not disappointed: this 14 minute song was a delight from the first to the last note.

Here’s the link to the original song by Dire Straits:

Special thanks to those who are keeping my ko-fi cup supplied:
I’ve formed the habit of publishing all the names of my supporters simply because I appreciate your appreciation of my work, and I want to recognize each one of you personally. But, unfortunately, YouTube allows a limited number of characters for the description, and I cannot fit all names anymore. So, this is my message to each one of my supporters personally:
THANK YOU!
