That this will be the final time that you follow this bunch of journeyman musicians around. This blog has been good to read especially alongside the acccounts those of Richard Bennet and Guy Fletcher. I had a spell posting on the a Mark in Time website but was ejected twice. I like the music but I asked myself would I want to go personally to see this band play. Moreover would I feel comfortable being in close quarters to the crowds? As you explain and as you know people vary from place to place but is there a common factor to the audiences beyond the fact they like MK music. In the UK the MK music was adopted by what I call the "greasy pole climbers" of the UK social scene. Guy Fletcher has all the attributes of this "class" of people who exist all over Europe. You don't and neither does Richard Bennet. But I ask my self the question do I want to be associated with the MK band as a fan...? Has the experience reinforced my liking of MK and his work?

And it was great meeting you in Padova and Napoli.<br /><br />Your description of 'emptiness" at the end of the tour is quite moving...gave me a lump in the throat. I can only imagine how it must feel after such a monumental journey, being in the presence of our hero, Mark Knopfler, almost on a daily basis. Hope you are coping well with the post-tour blues...I suffer from it badly, and I only do 3-4 shows!<br /><br />If you are ever within a few hundred miles of Charlotte, North Carolina please give me a shout.

It now appears to be a truly super-human effort experiencing a truck-load of issues outside the comfort of your home. But, your final thoughts are very apt!<br /><br />Go well, mate. You have had the pleasure of some wonderful memories of this truly superb band coupled with some amazing people and friends sprinkled along the way...no-one can put a price on that.<br /><br />Once again, thanks a ton for all your efforts. Hope the wrist will be back in full working capacity very soon.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Siddarth (from India)Siddarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935752810357354400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246251885422304880.post-83127752678259751992013-08-01T09:47:41.524-07:002013-08-01T09:47:41.524-07:00a Sasquatch..well some have said I am kinda like o...a Sasquatch..well some have said I am kinda like one..but a real one..no..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246251885422304880.post-15501736284901113012013-08-01T09:45:48.559-07:002013-08-01T09:45:48.559-07:00Damn site more room to live in BC Canada than in a...Damn site more room to live in BC Canada than in any country in Europe.
