I dare you to listen to any of these... ;)
(Just some personal favorites. Probably not the best place either.)

I am into the music of Loreena McKennitt for more than two years now, but it was not until last night that I heard on the radio a very rare Remix (left) of my favourite song "Caravanserai"(which is in a stunning live version on the right). This version is really awesome in my opinion, but I found out that this remix album is out of print obviously. So I suggest to you to listen to Loreena's music, and also, to answer me if someone has some idea how to get this remix album which has a lot of more other remixes
of Caravanserai on it as I understand.  ;D ;D ;D

I've always been a big fan of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, but hadn't really listened to them that much for a while now.
Due to MK's quiet period over the last few months, has allowed me to re-visit some of the great music sitting in my cd collection that i havn't listened too for far too long. Below is a GREAT example...............





Cheers   BBB

And because I belong to a newer generation besides MK/DS I grew up listening to 90s grunge music also.You might like these!
Good finger picking song ,great lyrics.
 
Eddie Vedder -The Times They Are A-Changin' (Bob Dylan Cover)
 

And here's something I would like MK to do, interact a bit with the crowd! Anyway Mark is special so I don't care he's one of a kind!

Yes, I just saw that on your FB. Cool story indeed. And yes, I can totally see MK doing this, but he would not advertise it, so chances are we'd never know

Tom didn't advertise it either.
aren't the masterclass series comparable in a way?
or the guy that won the contest getting an hour's lesson?
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

If some 14 year old kid emailed PCM to say that they had built a red strat like MK's, would they arrange for him to come backstage? Maybe, but probably only if he had cancer (cynical, but likely).

Would MK famous for being a stickler for detail, then take a guitar he has never played before, the wiring of which could be dodgy and cut out at any time, and use it live?

Never in a million years. No chance.

Maybe not exactly the same story in all its details including playing the guitar on stage, but interacting with a young fan, yes, I can see him doing that. Plus let
