Now, a little about me and Dire Straits.. It wasn't my fault, I swear.. :- ) It was my best friend Kagan, who brought all those Dire Straits records of his brother long years ago.. I didn't know what Rock music is, and I remember that when I first listened to The Telegraph Road, I didn't like it at all.. ;-) Things changed quickly, I found myself as a young Rocker getting drunk by the sound of Mark Knopfler's guitar..

Dire Straits was the beginning for me.. "Ilk goz agrisi" we say in Turkish, "the first eye ache" it means, -the very important first one-..! This isn't the only reason for Dire Straits' being so special of course.. They're doing this thing the way it should be done..! That's it..!

Now, time to talk about Dire Straits.. ;-) In these pages, you can find extended information about Dire Straits. I didn't arrange "photos" or "cover art" sections.. You can find photos etc, if you click on the image links in the pages, so don't miss any link in the pages, click everything that is underlined :-) .. Now, let's see what we've got..!
