From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

MK’s playing is so distinct that it separates him from every other guitar player on the planet and I never get tired of listening to him. And, he’s a genuinely humble and entertaining man.
If the police are dismantled , then who will enforce the anti-gun laws?
Let me put it this way: on that day, there will be no protection for criminals.
Not to take anything away from his playing, but a solo is unaccompanied. Or has the definition changed?

Excellent question and precise analysis. Five stars.
Win, win for America. It is called self government. On a local level it has been the only *government* that has actually worked. Anywhere.
I posted this before.
It is a better, clearer version.
And it has Clapton too, though in a subordinate position.
You can thank me later.

He can make it cry and sing.
Thanks, ghost.
The first time I hear MK and DS on the radio, I thought wow, nice to hear an obvious Chet Atkins influence in modern rock/pop. There are certain textures and tones only possible with finger picking.
I think the solo from Telegraph Road is better.
I agree. Telegraph Road was awesome. Primarily because it built upon his awesome original solo on Sultan’s
