I'm Also Getting An Ovation

I Used To Go To The School Folk Club With My Songs When I Was Only 13 Or So And Say "this Is A Traditional Folk Song" And Sing It With A Bad Irish Accent To Disguise The Real Source.

I Don't Really Think Of Dire Straits As A Sound, You Know. It. Just Depends On The Song, And The Stuff We're Doing Is So Varied.

I Just Want To Be Able To Play And Make People Feel Good With What I Do. When You're Thinking That Way, Anything Can Happen. And, Usually, What Happens Is Good.

Each Song Has Its Own Secret That's Different From Another Song, And Each Has Its Own Life. Sometimes It Has To Be Teased Out, Whereas Other Times It Might Come Fast. There Are No Laws About Songwriting Or Producing. It Depends On What You're Doing, Not Just Who You're Doing.

My Idea Of Heaven Is A Place Where The Tyne Meets The Delta, Where Folk Music Meets The Blues.
