    On our drives to radiation treatment, I'd play music for Dad. This is the last song he heard. His brain was increasingly tattered by chemo-induced delirium. But he absentmindedly commented, "That's a really nice song. Really beautiful." I squeezed his hand and told him, "Yeah, Dad. It's your Emmylou." The song was on his funeral mix. How appropriate.

    And that's all that really matters
    If this is goodbye
    If this is goodbye
    Your bright shining sun
    Would light up the way before me
    You were the one
    Made me feel I could fly
    And I love you
    Whatever is waiting for me
    If this is goodbye
    If this is goodbye
    Who knows how long we've got
    Or what were made out of
    Who knows if there's a plan or not
    There is our love
    I know there is our love
    My famous last words
    Could never tell the story
    Spinning unheard
    In the dark of the sky

    Since his days after leaving Dyer Straits, I have come to really appreciate this man's true appreciation for the guitar. Knopfler's style is truly unique, with his trademark string bending style.
    Do you even realize you're performing in front of a live audience Knopler? Looks like you're completely lost in your music, totally absorbed, oblivious to anything happening before you. As a guitarist, that's a true pleasure to watch (and listen to!).
