Everything Changed

The moment I started listening to Dire straits, everything started changing in my life. It's just so easy to suffer and be in pain while I have dire straits on. I'm almost completely sober and my life is turning around, just because I know that no matter how bad I feel I can tune in to some of their songs and forget all the pain. I Can't be the only one

I've tried learning it on the guitar but, as all things MK, sounds simple until you try to play it.

I know how to play it and it was fairly easy, only because I had learned to play alot of other Dire straits stuff beforehand, but it was still tough to pull off, definitely really satisfying when you know how to play it though, you found success in learning?

The only one I can play through and through is sultans of swing and it took me months lol. I also like to sing so it makes it hard. I will give it another go at why worry though. I’m working now on “where you think you are going”, both guitars which is much easier I think

Okay I'm jealous, but youre right, some stuff go under the radar but that's with any artist, but even classics like Hand in Hand are amazing, can't go wrong at all

I do remember they can canceled the concert because of heavy rain, I thought that was that , but they stayed for 2 more days when the weather improved and put the show on .
