Pensa MK1. Mark Knopfler 1 Created by Rudy Pensa and Mark Knopfler on a napkin in a coffee shop in New York. Mark wanted a guitar sounding like a Strat and a Gibson. I heard tell these are still available to order - 4-5 years waiting list.

It heartens me to see you talk about Mark Knopfler's guitar playing the way you do here. He is indeed a rather unique player, and doesn't really copy anyone. He makes the strings sing. He makes them growl, laugh, and cry. Eric Clapton once said that whenever he played with Mark, he didn't have to worry about a buncha his old licks being thrown back at him, as happened with many other players. A music reviewer once noted that, in his playing, 'Mark Knopfler rarely takes the easy way out.' So true. And that is just one reason that I have been a fan of the man for going on forty years, now. His songwriting is as singular as his guitar playing. MK is an unparalleled storyteller. Dominika, you said that this will not be the last Dire Straits song you react to. That simply made me smile, inside and out. May I suggest, even if you do not do any reaction videos for any of it, listen to Mark Knopfler's solo stuff as well. He's done more as a solo artist than with the Straits, and his songwriting has only gotten better over the years. If I had to suggest just one tune from his solo albums, it would be 'Done With Bonaparte'. For me, this tune is a perfect blend of storytelling through lyrics and music, and, as with many of his songs, is based on real history and, in this case, a real person. Thank you both for your wonderful reactions. They are as touching and inspiring as the music itself...
