	Mark Knopfler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mark Knopfler is the son of a Jewish architect whose communist sympathies forced him to flee the fascist regime in his native Hungary.
		Knopfler was spending some time with friends one night early in his career, and the only guitar available was an old acoustic with a badly warped neck that had been strung with extra-light strings to make it playable.
		Knopfler agreed to write the music for The Princess Bride only on the condition that director Rob Reiner put the cap that Reiner wore in This Is Spinal Tap somewhere in the movie.

	David Knopfler: Small mirrors review
		Knopfler in his liner notes writes that his objective for the album was "to make an emotionally honest record, not to plumb new depths in high-fidelity technology." Apparently, though, that didn't keep from experimenting with adding various backing musicians in the studio, overdubbing their parts.
		Knopfler dedicates this album to the memory of his father, and the senior Knopfler is remembered fondly on a song called A Father and a Son, which might have been inspired by a reconciliation between the parties.
		David Knopfler's new album The Giver is an exceptionally fine record, carrying on the tradition of Dire Straits, the band he and his brother Mark founded in the mid 1970s.

	David's making his Mark
		Knopfler has sold his work via an independent label and through the internet in the UK, but is signed to a major label in Germany.
		The irony of this estrangement is that David's music bears close comparison with Mark's rootsy, intelligent rock, and, from the first notes of the new album, the similarity between their singing voices is positively spooky.
		Though David parted company with Straits while they were still a fairly lean rock band, they went on to become mega-selling fixtures on the arena circuit, 1985's epic Brothers In Arms album being used to convince the world of the joys of the new CD technology.

	He can play honky-tonk just like anything - Salon
		Knopfler started Dire Straits with his virtuoso brother Mark in 1977 and the band was quickly propelled into AOR stardom with the haunting hit "Sultans of Swing" off their self-titled 1978 debut album.
		As Mark handled the guitar solos, David's moody chords moved the melody and propelled the tune as it spun its tale of a down-and-out jazz band passed over by changing times and tastes.
		David's contribution to this late-night radio mainstay gives him a piece of rock 'n' roll immortality that few can equal, whether he wants it or not.

	David Knopfler Biography1996
		David believes in Success without Fame - Happiness without Hype or Glory, preferring the substance of real work and the loyalty of real friendships and relationships to those more fashion conscious, ephemeral insecurities that so beset the pop glitterati who like to be seen at the awards ceremonies.
		Knopfler's heroes are rich and diverse, but if pressed to name influences, lists Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell, and Lowell George amongst many others.
