You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park
But meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is playing Dixie double-four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring

Did I ever mention that I have a huge (and very valuable) collection of Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler music and memorabilia? Well, I do. I’ll post pictures at some point.

Amongst other things, I have a 24-carat gold-plated edition of the Sultans of Swing (best of) album, an original framed and glazed 1985 BMI platinum award for Alchemy Live, and a Fender pick-guard signed by Mark.

None of it is for sale.
