Thanks man. From what I know, it kind of fits. I love the song, words and tone. I'll do a little research and get back to you.

Cgm, I was at there first audition on stage. Thought with the others there that they were Brilliant but wouldnt make it, it was in the punk days. Got that fucking wrong.

heh heh , there's some history for you. I remember crystal clear the first time I heard Sultans of Swing on the radio. WTF? Who is this, Dylan or something? I knew it was something special. Called a buddy to ask "You heard of this song?" and he filled me in on the details. Never did see them live though. Knopfler did a show in Toronto sharing the stage with Emmylou Harris earlier this year.
