A tip of the hat to one of the finest musicians on YouTube. He can play the honky tonk like anything!
Also, he's even got the "verified" badge on YouTube. That's the way you do it! Rock on, Josh! :clap :clap :clap

I'm a simple man, I see "Sultans Of Swing" — I don't click.

I still don't click. But I can see the view counter :lol

Even with my hate of SOS I can't say something bad about JT.

But seriously, when I stumble upon a guy who says he loves Dire Staits, I always think to myself "Oh, he must be Sultans Of Swing fan" :lol :lol :lol
You see, there's SOS fans and there's MK/DS fans, it's like two different planets. And SOS is just a song, forget about 200+ others Mark wrote.

don't like it. not fluid enough, too many little unnecesarry breaks/pauses whatever you call it. it misses the groove...in other words, i can remember seeing better covers.
