Sometimes You're The Windshield; Sometimes You're The

A Strat Was A Thing Of Wonder .. When I Was 14 Or 15, The Shadows Were A Big Influence, And They Had The First Strats That Came To England. I Like To Play All Kinds Of Guitars, But I Wasn't Getting The Sound I Really Wanted Until I Got A Stratocaster

Every Guitar I Own Gets Used And Has Its Purpose.

I Shoulda Learned To Play The Guitar.

While I Was Into Many Different Types Of Music, And Played With Many Different Local Groups, I Really Didn't Have A Band To Call My Own Until Dire Straits Was Formed In 1977.

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