Sunday morning music


I'm obliged to Michael Z. Williamson, author, blogger and friend in meatspace and cyberspace, for posting yesterday, on MeWe, this clip of a 2019 performance by Mark Knopfler of his 1982 masterpiece, "Telegraph Road".  It was originally performed with his group Dire Straits.  It was the lead track of their album "Love over Gold".

The album has always been one of my favorites, so I thought you might enjoy Mark's rendition of the song, almost 40 years after it first appeared.  He's grown older (a lot older!), but so have I;  and the song itself is timeless.





I daresay "Telegraph Road" will still be played a long, long time after I'm dead.  It's a masterpiece of its oeuvre.
