@Mary Spender' @MarySpender; Mary Spender this posted video is among Your very enjoyable, Lovely, DeLIGHTful, full of Splender [as Spender with "L" for Lovely] which all four adjectives certainly describe just a few of Your many attributes very well too. 🙂 Am looking forward to enjoying, hearing, listening, viewing some posted personal music, compositions, artistry, etc., too. Side note [correction] in the introduction, the recorded words state "December 21, 2024", clearly, explicitly -> certainly it was actually December 31, 2023 in NYC, correct ? Clearly a simple mistake awaiting the "New Year" celebration for 2024 during that night. All The Best, Sincerely

Mary, I hear you! MK wrote the soundtrack of my life, is the reason for me to become a guitarist and write my own music… That said, you, Mary, are an inspiration for me, too, because I bought my Lava ME2 after your review. It has become my main recording and performing guitar - I accompany my men's choir in a number of songs - my most important guitar at the moment alongside my (round-neck) Dobro and my Epiphone Dot Deluxe Blue Burst. Thank you Mary, for your inspiration and for sharing this mother of a wildest dream in this wonderful video. I shook hands with the great late Rod Temperton, and playing these jewels must feel like shaking hands with Mark Knopfler. :)

What can we do to help that happen, assuming you'd be up for it? Uncle Rick gets all the cool collabs.

So jealous. Mark has been my immediate answer for favorite guitarist since I first heard "Brothers in Arms" when I was 15 in 1986. My Mexican made Fender Strat is the same red because of Mark. Was there some condition that you were not allowed to play any of his music on his guitar? I would have played at least the intros to "Smooching," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Sultans of Swing" if I was holding one of the master's instruments.

Rudy Pensa clearly played a large part in Mark's guitar history. As you probably know, Rudy's still own's 2 guitar shops in New York; one in downtown NYC and the other in Westchester. Next time your travels bring you to the NY area you should make it a point to visit Rudy at his store. He has some beautiful new and vintage instruments and loves to talk guitar (and it would make a great video).

WOW. The word in my head is "Rockumentary." This has a history professor's precision, a professional musician's enthusiasm, and a squeeing fangirl just below the surface peeking out from time to time, not enough to distract from the piece but to _add_ to it. Bl---y BRILLIANT. (And the fingerstyle bumper music is once again unmistakeable... definitely some Knopfler influence, but also ALL YOURS...) Thank you for sharing the opportunity of a lifetime.

You are the perfect person to do this. In some ways, your aproaches to the instrument seem similar, with both of you ending up with a very personal fingerstyle kind of playing. Your presentation was spotless as always, albeit with a strong fangirl glint in the eye that made this vid even more entertaining. I was born in 1965. For me personally, "the" Mark Knopfler guitar will always be the silvery National Resonator that he used on Romeo and Juliet.

Arrgh.... 12.35 I've tried so often over the years to correct this. The amp used in recording the song Brothers In Arms in Montserrat was a late 60s/early70s Marshall JTM45 head through a Laney 4x12 cabinet. I know this because I was there and it was my amp! The 'Laney amp' misnomer was accidentally started by Neil Dorfsman, who was the engineer/producer of the album, in a magazine article years ago and never corrected. Mark later bought the JTM45 off me and he still has it. Great presentation though Mary, thank you. - Ron Eve ex MK guitar tech.

Mark will always be my favorite 6 string Hero. I’ve seen him live in concert so many times, & going back to a time when Dire Straits first ‘hit the scene’. He’s always captivated me with his guitar presence & expression. Often as if he were just a mere observer of what he was singing about. All part of his personality that was formed in his younger adult years as a news reporter. In any case, all a perfect balance with his authentic vocal story telling. Always with a casual & subtle, yet wholesomely reserved lyrical emotion. I always found that he was a master at letting the guitar express his underlying emotional currents. One of my favorite shows was when I lived in Bucks county PA & he made the Sailing To Philadelphia tour at Tower Theater Philadelphia. How appropriate... 😉 The Last time I saw him was in Montreal in 2019 & he was still the capable & consummate 6 string gunslinger. I saw him numerous times in between & was always amazed. I somehow almost always managed to get amazing seats up close within the first 10 - 20 rows. I almost think that he may have recognized seeing me at numerous concerts over the years & often make eye contact while I cheer him & his band mates on. Regardless of the seating it was always an incredible show, even after only being able to get ‘nosebleed’ seats at the Onondaga War Memorial Arena in Syracuse, & after just returning home from a semester abroad in Europe. Cheers to MK & congrats on being able to feel some of that history in your own hands. Truly magical isn’t it 😉

Mary..the 1983 Gibson Les Paul Standard Reissue Serial #006 you played. This is in 1983.. I worked on 7th Avenue at my dads Deli near 48th Street. My brother was going to 48th Street almost every day to see what was new at the guitar stores. These first Gibson 59" Reissue Les Pauls went to Manny's. There were 12 of them (0001 thru 0012) I went down there right away and the great sales guy we knew Benny said to me, most are sold going to Japan..there are two left. The one on display and the one still in box. I said I'll take the one in the box. Opened it, looked at it and bought it. It was Serial #0011. The one Mark Knopfler got was one of these first 12 reissue guitars, either the last one at Manny's, or one of the ones I was told were going to Japan. Mark Knopfler was in the neighborhood back then as I served him one evening he had a Tennis Racket on his back and was ordering chicken for his wife. My wife got his autograph.Nice guy. His Fiancé's family had taken care of the Plaza Hotel since before the Beatles first visit to America and her brother used to walk all the way over to order food from us (he was the nicest guy) and I was amazed to ask him about the Beatles visit. Manny's was good to hold back at least two those guitars to sell locally. I ended up selling that guitar through Mandolin Brothers 15-20 years later.
