Dire Straits are for me the best musical group of the world. Their music is a sweet pop and often also country. Their best song is, for me, certainly “Sultans of swing”: pure and sweet music;when I I listen to it I think to stay in a dream…fantastic! Between their songs I remember “Romeo and Juliet”, “Brothers in arms” and “Communiquè”. The band was: Mark Knopfler (Vocals, lead and rhythm guitars), David Knopfler (Rhythm guitar and vocals), John Illsley (bass and vocals) and Pick Withers (drums). Today there is only Mark Knopfler as singer: very good is the album “Sailing To Philadelphia” and “Wag the dog”, the sound track of a film with Robert Redford. Dire Straits, for my opinion, are the pop – rock band most famous up to 1984-1985. How long Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits will sing for all us? I hope soon, the sound of his guitar is fantastic...His hands are really wonderful!
