I always hated Dire Straits. My wife loves them. She has slightly won me over in the last few years.

Sultans of Swing. What a song that is. :guitar:

Ha ha . That’s on my list as one of three to be played when I kick the proverbial bucket . The other two are Comfortably Numb from the Pulse album and Stairway to Heaven but I might change that one . There are a few others in contention .
