Mark's brilliance shines through at every stage of his magnificent musical creations. There is no one like him. He is a gift to this world.

This album kind if snuck up on me. The more I listened to it the more it gripped me. It takes you down the road and reminds you of the humility of life. The Ragpicker's Dream, Quality Shoe and The Place Where We Used To Live, the longing for a decent life, a place to live and respect. Mark makes a book out of his lyrics and music and gives us a good read. Thank you, for sharing with the world.

I left home at 17 and hitched all over the country for several years. Living rough and day labor places for a recharge. In my latter years music from the days, from the Carter Family, Waylon, Kris, Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Willie, Emmylou and a well rounded fellow named Mark Knopler, many others too. I think of the kindness of strangers, and the sense to get away from a few rides that did not feel right. Still look for new music, as I feel God uses man's eccentricities for His opportunities. Keep on playing, we need troubadours more than ever.

I would love to be able to do a photoshoot with you, but I guess that will just be a pipe dream, although that won't stop me listening to your music on KZfaq. Take care Mark.

Lyrics: When Jack Frost came for Christmas With a brass monkey date The rail-king and the scarecrow Hopped a Florida freight And they blew on their paper cups And stared through the steam Then they drank half a bottle Of Ragpicker's Dream Where the whiskey keeps following Cold pitchers of beer Me and my associate Like the clientele here get The onions and the 'taters Rib-eyes on the grill Toothpicks and luckies And a coffee refill As the rail-king lay rocking He was leaving the ground Then he was flying like Santa Claus Over the town where He came to the window Of a house by a stream It was a family Christmas In the Ragpicker's Dream There were kids at the table All aglow in the light Music in the wintertime Sure carries at night there Was turkey and gravy Pie and ice cream And gifts for each and everyone In the Ragpicker's Dream Where the red-eye keeps tumbling In our glasses of beer Me and my associate Like the service in here there's A ten for your trouble You have beautiful hair Make the last one two doubles It's a cold one out there Where the scarecrow and the rail-king Have started to dance But a nightstick and a billyclub Won't give peace a chance here I think they went thataways Your song and dance team Heading home for the holidays With the Ragpicker's Dream On his knees like a fighter The rail-riding king Like a sack of potatoes Like a bull in the ring where The scarecrow falls over With a tear in the seam Home for the rover In the Ragpicker's Dream Where the red-eye keeps tumbling Like tears in our beer Me and my associate Like the ambience here where They cornered two castaways In a white flashlight beam Merry Christmas and happy days In the Ragpicker's Dream
