Dire Straits - Sultans of swing

Me playing the Mark Knopfler's masterpiece..the other guitarist that is playing with me is called Guty, you can see more stuff played together at http://www.youtube.com/gutyesimone "Sultans of Swing" was the first single release of the British rock band Dire Straits. It was first recorded as a demo at Pathway Studios, North London, and quickly acquired a following after it was put in the rotation at Radio London. It did not take long for the popularity to find its way to record executives, and Dire Straits were offered a contract with Phonogram, a British record company. The song was then re-recorded and released in both the United Kingdom and the United States, though the demo version remained on the original UK Vertigo single. With its Dylanesque lyrics and vocals, along with economic guitar fills, the song was a marked change from the waning disco style and the nascent punk movement. The arrangement of "Sultans of Swing" was straightforward: two guitars, a bass, and a straight 4/4 beat on the drums. Dire Straits' original lineup has Mark Knopfler on vocals and lead guitar, David Knopfler on rhythm guitar, John Illsley on bass, and Pick Withers on drums. The song's story is that of the diverse members of a working-class jazz group who only want to play their distinctive sound in a small London club, and don't care how popular they are.(wikipedia)

goodluck finding a girl that doesn't flee to save herself from harm by you as she gets to know you a little ;)

@KrisShred

this is not an ultimatum - not intentional one

but as long as i do not know for sure you do not harm or force intimate things on women on or off line

i cannot "leave you alone" if that's what you or your soul wants
