Another Saturday morning, sitting here browsing and I took a listen to Mark Knopfler's new CD "Kill To Get Crimson" it's a great effort by one of the most skilled musicians in the industry.

It is really hard to pick a favorite song from this wonderful collection, but I've found I've played this one much more than once. 'In The Sky'-home from the sea, far away from here, weathered a storm,part of the fray, crossed every ocean in the boat that you made.
