Like there are songs that when you pick up a guitar, you just sort of like start like they're things that your fingers do and like different guitars make you do different things.

DennisAUDIENCE
Two things.
DennisAUDIENCE
First, your recollection of the Charge of the Light Brigade brought to mind a lyric, the first verse of a song by the incomparable Mark Knopfler that inspired me to think that it might well be, and I believe is, A prophecy of your return to your beloved homeland.
DennisAUDIENCE
I'll recite it for you.
DennisAUDIENCE
It's very brief.
DennisAUDIENCE
To leave, you'll never be a piper till the end.
George GallowayHOST
How beautiful.
George GallowayHOST
Mark Knopfler is one of my personal heroes, and you didn't know that, so I'm very grateful to you for bringing that up.
George GallowayHOST
I feel the same way about pipes.
Thomas StubbsHOST
He was only 24.
Thomas StubbsHOST
In 1983, Bob Dylan sat down at a piano in New York, sat with Mark Knopfler playing on guitar, and they recorded a song named for Blind Willie McTell.
Thomas StubbsHOST
It says that nobody could touch him.
Thomas StubbsHOST
Dylan didn't put it on the album and kept it for eight years.
Howard WeinerHOST
So to me, some people don't see it, the Dylan Dead thing, but it's I see it like it's the most natural thing in the world.
Howard WeinerHOST
third song Man of Peace cool thing about that was I was so into Infidels at the time of the show that album cover Dylan with the sunglasses Mark Knopfler I like a lot that album always struck me as being very cool even though now we know that there was a treasure trove of songs that never made it on that album so they did Man of Peace I was excited about it but the version sucks I've got to be quite honest.
Howard WeinerHOST
It's not
Matt WellsGUEST
brilliant.
Adam ReaderHOST
Michael Jordan was in this thing, Kevin Costner, Whoopi Goldberg, Muhammad Ali.
Adam ReaderHOST
And then Mark Knopfler added a guitar solo, which is probably the best part.
Adam ReaderHOST
And Kenny G brought the sax, which was the worst part.
Adam ReaderHOST
However, behind the scenes, things got more complicated, as it does in Hollywood.
Dave StroudHOST
Randy has made something of a career out of writing songs that sound perfectly reasonable... until you listen closely to what the narrator is actually saying.
Dave StroudHOST
This one's a sly little examination of American priorities, and you had Mark Knopfler contributing on guitar.
Dave StroudHOST
Dave Stroud with you once again here on Deeper Roots, and I would encourage you to turn up the volume and lean on in a little closer, because our next set will kick in with some more Bobby Gentry music, where she'll kick off songs from those same Mississippi Delta waters with some country and blues.
Dave StroudHOST
But first,
speaker_2HOST
But Schauer went back to the uncompressed, high-resolution digital master files.
speaker_2HOST
But cutting the record at half speed, he preserved the delicate, almost crystalline sound of Mark Knopfler's finger-picked National Steel guitar on the track Romeo and Juliet.
speaker_1HOST
Oh, that sounds amazing.
speaker_2HOST
It really is.
