Still Great - Mark Knopfler

September 18, 2020

but where is Emmylou Harris?

Many years ago I saw Eric Clapton at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan. All through the show, I kept hearing Dire Straits. Finally, I grabbed someone's binoculars, and sure enough, there was Mark Knopfler! Since then I found out they are great buddies, and tour together a lot. Clapton was so cool, he let his tour guitarist have the final encore, this:

It was one of the best shows I've ever been to

Hand Drill

I have several hand drills, cordless and corded. For real work, a massive DeWalt cordless powers easily through concrete. But you don't need all that to build a guitar, in fact, you don't even want it. The DeWalt is expensive and weighs a ton. For light use, a little cordless Ryobi or Black&Decker will do just fine and is a lot lighter on the arm and the wallet.
