Title: Song for my Dad
Post by: Mudrian on October 22, 2019, 05:04:46 PM

Here is a song I did for my dad 80 year birthday.
Mark Knopfler was the man who made me pick a guitar when I was 16.....and he has been my maine influence ....
I played all guitars , did all vocals , writting and composing.
A good  friend of mine did the drum programing  and the bass.

Really well done! Nice playing and vocals. I like that you have used your MK influence to create something of your own.
