When the dishes are washed each evening and darkness comes to The Homestead, I like to read: Mostly history and literature, because they help me understand the human condition.

When I looked it up, I found that Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn also played the Strat. Fenders have an impressive pedigree, huh? While Hendrix and Vaughn have each played their last note, Knoffler is still making records. I warned VSO that, if he hears of her picking, she may be asked to sit in on a Dire Straights set or two:
