My daughter, Sheyna, is taking me to see one of my favorite performers, Mark Knopfler, at the Warner Theatre in Washington, DC tomorrow night. Fabulous daughter, grateful father!

Great Guitarist. His tone and harmonies are simple but profound. No one has ever said they can play like Knopfler. I can copy and sound like Santana or even someone as complex as Malmsteen or Django Reinhardt but what Knopfler does cannot be easily imitated.
You will enjoy yourself.
Errol take a listen to this English girl. You may like her. simple soothing harmonies.
Very nice Errol. That's chick's got a pleasant voice. Will check her out some more later.
I have to go do my "Down to the waterline" as usual I play the rhythm part. Do it in Bm.
During the first song, I was mesmerized by the action of the video camera movements, switcher fading and editor. It felt as if I were right there, behind the camera.
A wonderful video recording to supplement the softness of the song and beautiful guitar.
Many time when I am recording a concert, I am totally lost to the music and deeply engrossed in the movement of the camera. I like close-up of fingers on the guitar strings, they show emotions.
Even a bee on my leg might not distract me. Its a beautiful feeling.
Storm, very nice and enjoy the concert Errol.
She is genius, once in lifetime, genuine singing and playing. Even the nonsense songs like the one at position 16 are completely mesmerizingly beautiful. There is a sense of the baroque to it even if at it's heart it is simple. She reminds me at times of Beth Middler but she is more than that and unique.

I watched 16, excellent stuff.
Camera people attending rehearsals of a video/photo shoot is very important to understand cues at a performance, or wedding.
Editing is important, but if a cameraperson don't capture the footage, there is very little an editor can do.
At wedding rehearsals, this is where I learn about relationships and captured the best candid shots of relatives, during the wedding.
Errol, how was the show.

The show was absolutely fantastic. Mark was in very fine form. I had heard him on a video about two years ago and his voice seemed to be cracking. Last night, however, it was firm and mellifluous the old Mark Knopfler. My daughter had not paid much attention to him in the past because she felt he was not of her generation. She was blown away. The audience refused to let him go quietly - he came back for two encores.
I have never seen him in concert. I will take the time to do so as soon as I can. He is on my bucket list.

Katie is one of my favorite artistes. I first heard her when she did a tribute to Eva Cassidy, one of my icons, when she passed away a few years ago. One of the great regrets of my life is that I never attended one of her shows even though she was from Maryland and performed at local clubs, especially Blues Alley on numerous occasions.

Love eva. Some of the guys I used to play with knew her growing up. Never knew of her when she was alive.
I play songs like songbird and fields of gold exactly as she did. She had a way of creating wonderful fingersyle harmonies to match her unique voice that made old songs new.
Someone created a guitar songbook with tab sheets of her music and I play from it all the time because the pieces fall in place under the finger naturally as though they were meant to be played that way all along.
This katie girl is a different kettle of fish. She is unique and wonderful in her own way. She is also not as shy as Eva and is lucky to be recording from an early age. She is one of the richest artiste in Britain. Eva died broke

Listening to 96.1, late one night about 3 years ago. Between sleep and wake, I heard that unique voice. I called the Radio Station, I missed her name. The next morning radio station called me back with the name. What a great song writer and she has a style of her own. Beautiful songs. Leonard Cohen is also a great song writer, unique in his deliverance as well.
yeh! Eva Cassidy. I posted her version of There we go again. Late one night on Social about a month ago. Buddy Holly doing a Paul Anka song. Eva gave deep deep feelings to the lyrics.
