Blugubrious - The Man's Too Strong / Dire Straits (Cover)

Not a cover for me initially. I thought my friend Mark Tanner should sing it (link below), so I recorded the two guitar performances in the video. The sound you are hearing is from these single takes. Vocals done immediately after. Mark did a great job... my vocal here was really just a place-holder for Mark to hear and remove. Anyhow, this song is very meaningful for me and I found this take of it and thought to share and Mark was cool with it.

There is a longer story, but since I was way, way younger, I almost never learn my favorite songs. This is an all-time favorite. You will have to just believe me when I tell you, this is the only time I have ever played it from beginning to end – before or since this video. Weird, I know. But weird is my 2nd cousin’s middle name.

Hope you dig it... if you have not spent time with the original, put on some headphones or listen through good speakers and enjoy it. Trivia: A rare tune where Knopfler uses a pick.

Go check out Mark’s version here and support his channel. One of the good ones.
