Hello! long time fan of Mark Knopfler here, covering Sailing to Philadelphia

If you liked that cover, you may like this original song by a band called Simply Amused, written with the early Dire Straits sound in mind:

Yeah, a very cool original song. If you have an album of these, I'd buy it.

thank you! you can listen to the full album at simplyamusedband.com (http://simplyamusedband.com) (streaming links available)... however, this particular song is the only one with a blatant Mark Knopfler influence. The other songs are not like this, and his influence is more subtle. I'm glad someone could enjoy it! :)
