Way on down south: Londontown!

Man you nailed both the vocals & guitar playing...unless you're trying to scam us with a Knopfler track. ;)

That's Two Scoops of Awesome! One of my favorite guitar tunes, eh-ver!

Nicely done, Spuds!

Good call on the Raisin Bran, crunchy just doesn't work with Sultanas of Swing ;).

After doing this I have a whole new respect for Mark Knopfler. He's bloody amazing. I like to think of him as subtly incredible.

Oh, yeah, iPod material for inspiration for sure. Smooooooooth! I like what you did with the solo. Has the feel, but definitely your own. You were flatpicking, yes?


P.S. We've (I mean us fretters who harassed you) created a monster!! :rockon:

Incredible job on one of my all-time favorite guitar tunes! I can still remember exactly where I was when I heard that classic for the first time. Thanks for bringing back a flood of memories! :bravo: :AOK:

Ahh...the spud is getting a bit cocky.....presuming this is ipod material LMAO


and now I see why....darn good job there....I love how you brought the backing vocals in on the other track....until I listened closer I thought my wife was singing along with you.....very stellar recording....and great playing too....one comment about your version over Mark Knopflers....I can actually understand the words you are singing.....so I am picking up some things I never understood in his version.


Great Job Spud. You really baked on this one.

Well down Spudman, a great cover indeed, that was quite sometimes that I havn't heard this song and you really make it justice :AOK:

The strat tone is really close to Mr Knopfler himself ;)

Given how you've been known to make pancakes, I'm strenously avoiding the parking lot scene on the Luke Skyrawker Tour of the Galaxy.
