Christmas album from Mark. Is it possible?
« on: November 27, 2012, 08:24:30 AM »
Hello, everyone!

Holidays are coming, and yesterday I posted a question to Guy about a possible Mark Knopfler Christmas record, since I have a feeling that it would really be something special, with Mark's voice and beautiful guitar playing on some of the Christmas classics, and maybe even some songs of his own...

Guy's answer: Ho ho ho

So, what do you think. Is it possible? Is it something you want? We do of course have The Ragpicker's Dream, which is a beautiful song, but I want more...  ;)

No way.  We have Chet's Christmas albums to get on with which are lovely anyway.

Guys answer should have been NO,NO, PLEASE GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :smack :thumbsdown

I couldn't think of anything more horrendous  :disbelief

I've been listening to lots of very upbeat, dare I say heavy, atmospheric, great complex drumming, awesome guitar solo prog rock recently. Eg. Porcupine Tree, Marillion, Dream Theatre.
I just can't get enough of it.

I still love Mark though (of course)

Cheers BBB

What do you think if all of us send a mail to PCM asking for such a Christmas gift like a SBD from 2012 recordings?

Not a good idea to ask some people to write to PCM.  :-[

Edit: I remember an epic discussion at TR way back when it was released. And the second song Get Busy was rather disco if my memory serves me right...
