qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: April 06 2002, 11:49 The solo to Moonlight Shadow does sound very Knopfler like,but there is no way that he did do it,and interestingly,when Mike plays that solo now,he plays it extended,with a fast trip-let sequence,which is very like the fast trip-let sequence of Sultans Of Swing!!!

Older and wiser, I think it's funny now, but at the time I was livid!! -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top
