Thank you for sharing :) I love his playing with DS, but I haven't listened to anything else he has done. I went to see DS Legacy this weekend and my god I love that keyboard on Brothers in arms! He added some cool stuff to TR as well (compared to MK solo version). If I could choose between *the playing* from him and Jim Cox, I would pick Alan any day.

Absolutely, clearly a talented chap but not at all appropriate for Mark's style.  He should really have ditched Guy after DS too - I don't see what he offers other than being a reliable pal or yes man.  A Stand-up Guy you might say!

Mark walks into the studio:  What do you think of this new ditty Guy?
Guy:  That's another great one Sir!

Still, very nice interview and thanks for sharing Dusty.

Why Mark had longer work with Guy so long time? IMO one  reason is Walk of Life. :thumbsup

If I could set a band for Mark it would surely be quite a different one.

But I am not the boss  ;D
