Time for another treat from Mark Knopfler.
Rather than me waffle on (and regular readers will know I'm good at that!), I'll simply encourage you to listen attentively to Mark Knopfler's commentary before playing the song "Monteleone", a song about instrument maker, John Monteleone and his passionate craftsmanship. Mark is clearly a very clever guy!
The song, inspired me to write my own version (though no where near as beautifully scripted), "Don, The Carpenter".
These are just some of my random thoughts.

Mark Knopfler at The Royal Albert Hall
So, folks this is how I spent my Wednesday evening.....!
The fact I have a "markknopfler" label suggests I'm a rather big fan. That suggestion would be correct!
The setting for this auspicious event was the Royal Albert Hall in London. I have never been inside it before, seeing it only from the outside and a few times on TV. If you haven't been, a suggestion for you.....Go! I think this is probably now one of my favourite buildings in the world, primarily because of its interior, though its exterior is distinguished too.

Known famously for its hosting of The (BBC) Proms, The Royal Albert Hall which opened in 1871 has a Victorian grandeur charm about it. If you click on the "Virtual Tour" (more 360 image than tour), then after your gasps of "Wow, that's beautiful", click on "Grand Tier". This was the view we had for the Mark Knopfler concert. Not bad eh!
Mark Knopfler as is always the case, was on top form. It's true that he's not as quick as he was back in his Dire Straits days. However, he is still a very talented musician who wowed the audience with his skills. I won't reveal the full set list as the tour is still ongoing, but he performed a mixture of old Dire Straits songs, and many from his solo albums including his most recent, Get Lucky.
One feature I particularly enjoyed was during one song (I don't think it's spoiling it to say it was during Sultans of Swings as this is an essential number for him to perform during any tour!), was a special camera placed at the top of the guitar (where it's tuned - I don't know the name of it, so I'm going to call it the shaft!). This pointed downwards to show his finger picking and projected onto a giant screen. Though I said he had naturally slowed down over the years, when this image was displayed I quickly thought "Slowed yes, but not by much!".
He led into Sultans of Swings from Romeo and Juliet. Melodically, Romeo and Juliet is not one of my favourites (it's still high up there, I just prefer the more upbeat ones), lyrically it is by far my favourite. If you read the lyrics, I hope you'll agree that it's a beautifully crafted work of art by a man who arguably is as good a poet as he is a musician. His performance of this live, had a particular poignancy for me because of the good friend (and my unofficial adopted sister!) that I went with. Years ago when she was going through some tough times, I used a line from the song to convey my offer of help, should she need it. I said simply "I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you". I think, and hope that stuck in both of our minds and so being able to hear that in her presence, sung live by the composer was a touching moment.
So, overall a wonderful evening. Great talent, great seats, great venue, great company, great music, great Mr Knopfler!
One of the five nights he played was recorded and available for purchase. I bought the USB stick. Well worth it! Technically it was from a different night, but it was exactly the same format and if I hadn't seen it was from the 30th May rather than June 2nd, I'd not have been able to tell any difference. If you like Mark Knopfler, do whatever you have to do (sell a kidney, sell your body!) to be able to buy this!.
Here are a few pictures (sadly not great quality as taken with a cameraphone and you really need a proper camera for these kinds of shots).....

Unprepared For Your Golden Heart
Well now my little cherubs (cherub?!), it's been far too long since I posted a Mark Knopfler video. So here is one.
I just love the lyrics for this song, they're so beautiful (as they all too often are from Mr Knopfler!). Full lyrics (which I strongly recommend reading) can be found here at MarkKnopfler.com
"Nothing in the world prepared me for your heart,
Your heart,
Nothing in the world that I love more,
Your heart,
Your heart,
Your Golden Heart"
A slightly higher quality video of the song is available here. I just didn't use it because "Embedding disabled by request".

Our Shangri-La
Well now, well now boys and girls (maybe just boy and girl, maybe even just boy i.e. me!), it's been at least a few days since I mentioned Mark Knopfler!
This song, Our Shangri-La is in my opinion one of Mark's most beautifully composed songs - both melodically and lyrically. We all have our "Shangri-La" and likely this song will take you to yours (YouTube video is at the bottom, but it's there because I strongly encourage the lyrics are read first!).
It's the end of a perfect day
For surfer boys and girls
The sun's dropping down in the bay
And falling off the world
There's a diamond in the sky,
Our evening star
In our Shangri-La
Get that fire burning strong
Right here and right now
It's here and then it's gone
There's no secret, anyhow.
We may never love again
To the music of guitars
In our Shangri-La
Tonight your beauty burns
Into my memory
The wheel of heaven turns
Above us endlessly
This is all the heaven we've got
Right here where we are
In our Shangri-La
Tonight your beauty burns
Into my memory
The wheel of heaven turns
Above us endlessly
This is all the heaven we've got
Right here where we are
In our Shangri-La
In our Shangri-La
In our Shangri-La

Room Lovely
(A newer "Version 2" of Room Lovely is here)
(This could prove to be one of my longer blog posts....you have been warned!)
For those not familiar with the concept of Room 101 - (the TV show, not the one in 1984, although the latter inspired the former) allow me to explain. Basically, it was a BBC TV comedy show with, according to the BBC microsite, one with a 'simple premise':
One of the episodes I particularly enjoyed was Stephen Fry's appearance and his attempt to put Room 101 into Room 101 itself. Not because he didn't like the show, not because he didn't like the presenter, but because it focused too much on the negative - the things people didn't like. And so, Stephen Fry was granted a 'Room Lovely' to discuss what things should go into a place filled with all the niceties in life.
You can watch Fry's appearance on Room 101 on YouTube (from 3 minutes in is the "Room Lovely" section)
So, this blog post is about some of the things I would put into Room Lovely - and where appropriate (or required!) my reasons. Yeah, I know it's self indulgent, but hey this is my blog isn't it - you can go make your own!
So, vamos a ver!...
Oh, I should mention that I am not including the obvious things like food, water, oxygen, medicine, family, love, Rachel Stevens etc (putting a hyperlink in for Rachel Stevens is for my benefit to save me having to type it in later! Focus Phil!, focus!). These are in no specific order. Oh, and I am also excluding raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...
1. BBC News - For good (as unbiased as you can get nowadays!) news reporting. Professional sitting at a desk saying what is going on in the world.
2. Atlases - I personally find looking at an atlas an almost sexually exciting experience (but not quite - so no need to call the men in white coats yet). When at school, my friends would be saving up for playstation games, or asking for them as presents for birthdays, but instead I got all excited when the latest edition of the world atlas came out and would want that! I could just look at all the places for hours on end, trying try to understand how different places were related, how diverse and beautiful our natural landscape can be.
3. Mark Knopfler - Do I really need to add more here? If you've looked at my blog already, you will know how great I think he is.
4. Piano - OK, so I'm no Jools Holland (oh, he should go in Room Lovely too!), but I do play and think the piano is a wonderful instrument.
5. Newspaper articles - I don't read them as much as I should, but occasionally there will be one that takes my fancy. This goes in to Room Lovely though more because it's the freedom of healthy thought provoking opinion we are supplied with in copious amounts.
6. iPhone - I think the phone itself is a feat of technological engineering (I have one myself), but this goes in just as much for raising the bar for what a mobile phone should be about. Touch screen is now the norm, and people expect their phone to do much - quickly and easily. Thank you iPhone for creating this leap.
7. Microwaves - Because I would starve without one! (oh and I'm adding microchips to this!)
8. Kit Kats - What, you mean you haven't figured out why this is in?....Look at the name of blog!
9. Encyclopedias - Cos I like to know stuff! And a place to go for all of this is neurologically fulfilling!
10. Cameras - To help keep memories alive. The emotions looking at a picture can exhibit demonstrates their power. The photo of an old pet, the view from your old bedroom window, that holiday shot of whatever it was that made the people involved get the giggles.
11. Amygdala - My favourite part of the brain. Without it, we'd be pretty dull people!
12. Soap - Think about it - is there anything nicer than knowing you have clean hands? Sure, but not stuff I'm gonna put on a publicly accessible blog!
13. Official Monster Raving Loony Party - For those outside the UK, the Official Monster Raving Loony Party is an officially registered political party in the UK. They'll never win (tragically!), but I just love their humourous (and it's the fact this is official) take on political activity. I strongly encourage to study their Manifesto. Where else do you get policies such as;
"Cool on the outside:
To combat global warming and climate change all buildings should be fitted with air conditioning units on the outside."
"Terror Passport
Separate Passports for Terrorists: Terrorists should be required (by virtue of law) to apply for separate passports in which they give there full contact details, number of explosives, and time (as well as location) of any plot. This would save time and money in gathering intelligence, and could also help identify the intended ambition(s) behind any atrocity(s)."
"Interesting News:
Every day the news should tell people an interesting fact in a hope to increase people's knowledge."
"Nice Curves
A government agency will be set up to paint contour lines on to hills and colour roads the same as on maps. This will help people know where they are."
"National Defense.
To keep our nation on it's toes, we should have a minimum of 2 nuclear war drills a day."
"Nessie
The Loch Ness Monster should be added to the endangered species list."
"Bon Voyage
We will pass a law ordering British Airways flight attendants to CHEER UP"
And it should be noted, that some of their policies have become actual law.
14. Elmo - Because.....
15. Snooker - My favourite sport. I also really like it because the professional circuit has such a warm family feel to it. Cheating and being disrespectful are still very rare and frowned upon. Not to mention that a great amount of skill is needed to play. There's really nothing quite like a cold winters evening watching the final of the Masters with Willie and Dennis in the commentary box, popping back to the studio for a quick comment by Steve Davis to get you chilled!
16. Sir David Attenborough - Watch, and enjoy. What a wonderfully, fantastic man. A genuinely brilliant human being whose passion cannot be ignored.
17. Baywatch - Run Yasmin, run like the wind (although Pamela Anderson was my favourite!) Yeah I know it's wrong to put this in, but my youth is in this show and I will defend it! So many memories, ah.
18. Paul Merton - He is a fantasticly witty comedian with a very dry and unbelievably quick sense of humour. He represents the type of humour that I adore. Clever. I think also, Have I Got News For You is very representative of the British sense of humour (of which I'm a big fan).
19. Satire - This leads on to satire, which deserves its own place. I think it's very healthy to make things humourous where ever possible, and done in a slightly 'dry/can you get away with that?' manner is both very clever and good for us.
20. Friends (the TV show). Princess Consuela Bananahammock, Hey, How you doin? There are many more moments!
21. The internet. For all it's spam and things we don't want to see, it really has changed society I think. We rely on it so much and when it does what it's supposed to, it's just wonderful. It certainly has changed my life.
22. Ray Mears - Whilst writing this blog post title The Real Heroes Of Telemark - In Streetview I realised that of course Ray Mears should be in Room Lovely! For his genuine enthusiasm of the natural world, the heritage of it and our responsibility to it, and how there are skills we can learn and carry with us so that no matter where we are - we are able to survive.
23. Stephen Fry - Because he came up with the idea of Room Lovely in the first place!
Now.....I wonder what would be on your list?

Sultans of Swing
So, yeah as previously mentioned, I am a massive fan of Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits.
This week, I had the very good excuse of looking for my favourite Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits songs - and the good versions of them.
If you watch one video today, let it be this one!

If This Is Goodbye
I am a massive fan of Mark Knopfler. He is my favourite musician and in my opinion one of the most gifted songwriters of all time. Songs such as Money for Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, Sultans of Swings, Going Home (theme from Local Hero), Golden Heart, Sailing to Philadelphia and Remembrance Day are all examples of his landmark pieces of genius. I would list all the ones I like, but my fingers would get tired from all the typing!
Recently, he performed an intimate concert for the Prince's Trust, which was shown over Christmas on the Biography Channel
In it, he talks about one of the songs on an earlier album titled 'If This Is Goodbye'. Although, I have listened to it many many times over the last few years, what I didn't realise about it, was that writing this song was Knopfler's way of discussing 9/11. The song is basically about those phone calls made from the twin towers and the planes, and although completely tragic, what can be taken from those calls is that whatever happens to humans - whatever is thrown at the decent folk of the world, our ability to love will always triumph, and it is that which should be taken from the attack. This is the article written by Ian McEwan referenced by Knopfler in the video below.
I will never be able to listen to that song in the same way again.
Here are those lyrics:
My famous last words
Are laying around in tatters
Sounding absurd
Whatever I try
But I love you
And that's all that really matters
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
Your bright shining sun
Would light up the way before me
You were the one
Made me feel I could fly
And I love you
Whatever is waiting for me
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
Who knows how long we've got
Or what were made out of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love
I know there is our love
My famous last words
Could never tell the story
Spinning unheard
In the dark of the sky
But I love you
And this is our glory
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye

The performance is also available on YouTube
