Can you observe Knopfler's incredible humbleness in this performance? He's acting like that song is not written by himself and he just enjoys the legends.
The video you'll watch is a special one. Not only for you bot also for Mark Knopfler.
Atkins was a great influence on Knopfler, possibly one of the most influenced musician was Atkins. He always adored his playing and dreamt of playing with him.
Mark Knopfler, Chet Atkins, and Everly Brothers performing 'Why Worry', the song that was released within the ground-breaking 1985 album Brothers In Arms, by Dire Straits.
This performance is a dream that came true.
You've probably seen my Pale Blue Dot image – but what about this one, which I snapped years prior, just 13 days after I launched?
It was the first image ever taken of the entire Earth and Moon together. -V1
Fun fact.
This trick shot by Mary Tyler Moore in a 1962 episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was actually made in one take.
It was intended for an expert pool player to film the trick, but to everyone's surprise, she actually got it.
I CAN NOT stress enough that this is not AI as you think of it. @SamWitwer studied the movement, the inflections, the facial expressions of @WilliamShatner down to the minutia. Then he had to move his face in ways that didn't make sense, so that the digital makeup would do what he wanted. It was astounding to see in real-time. It was like Andy Serkis level of nuanced performance acting.
Friends! Yesterday was very tough, but, on behalf of my mental health, thank you SO MUCH for your boundless love and kindness. It was so emotional to be reminded of how important we’ve been to so many people.
Now - to the future. Would you like to stay in touch? Would you like to help me get something new up and running?
I’ve been writing a free monthly newsletter for a little while - it has new tech, behind-the-scenes stories and many Click flashbacks. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s written from the heart. And I narrate it too.
Would you be kind enough to subscribe? And it would mean a lot if you could repost this, so I can try for a quadrillion subscribers... (my maths tells me that should be achievable)
The link to subscribe is in the reply to this tweet (to stop the algorithm suppressing it), but that link is also in the attached image.
Again, thank you so much for yesterday.
@spenley@LaraLewington All good things come to an end, or so they say. I'd love to think there's still space for intelligent programs that add something, so let's hope there's another Click in the future. Thanks for all the fish.
The original Nokia ringtone, known as the Nokia tune, is derived from a piece of solo guitar music called Gran Vals, composed by Francisco Tárrega in 1902.

45 years ago today, Taxi gave us one of the best scenes in sitcom history.
"What Does The Yellow Light Mean?"
@TheRealMarilu is actually stabbing herself with a pencil to refrain from laughing.
This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history.
That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide — yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail.
Look closer at it and you'll realize nothing is as it seems… (thread) 🧵
