Amazing what Mr Knopfler can do with a guitar. Always admired his playing. Thanks very much. I enjoyed the melody and the sentiment.

Ersatz

[retrocop]

Well it's not a Royal Marine Bugler, granted, but it's not ersatz.IMO

[emmie]

interesting take on it

[Mamyalynne]

No words needed.

Thank you ILA

[emmie]

I prefer the bugle, it sends shivers down my spine.

[retrocop]

So do I emmie but I like the concept of improvisation. Those serving with the armed forces have to do that regularly. If there isn't a bugle to hand. Find someone who can play the guitar particularly well. :-)

He made an album with Chet Atkins, 'Neck & Neck', (good fun too). He was the young 'un with the old 'un & now he's bald - oh dear, join the club Mark.

Very moving and haunting. Mark Knopfler is definitely one of the better 'finger pluckers' around, imho.

I was listening to them playing. ‘ There’ll be some changes made’
A real foot tapper and applicable to us dinosaurs

[Lie-in King]

Excellent, ta ILA.

[Khandro]

retro; I think it was Chet's line, "You'll see me ridin' in my Mercedes Benz..." that pushed me into buying my first Mercedes.

[Barsel]

Can somebody tell me what Ersatz means please?

I thought it was very haunting

[retrocop]

Barsel
Ersatz means fake or copy. The Germans drank ersatz coffee. Ground up acorns is one example.

[Barsel]

Thanks Margo and Retro. Never heard of it. I thought it was one of those, imo, rofl, pmsl I was trying to work out what the letters meant!

[retrocop]

Lol. I understand. It is German. :-)

Nice, but I prefer a bugle.
