I stumbled on this video this morning that I felt was quite moving.
(I was also fascinated by the the beard friendly face mask worn by the man on the left at 1:32)
I found this one quite interesting too.

Moving indeed. Stirling Moss was a true gentleman. My son met him (a few years ago) and mentioned my upcoming 50th birthday. Stirling gave him a photo to pass to me which he signed with the message 'Happy 50th Fred'. It was just a picture to write on to him but it made my day.
I like the way Mark Knopfler finger picks the electric which is probably what gives him his unique sound. The interview in the second video in which he describes his lack of interest in fame was quite interesting. I saw Dire Straits on one of their later tours and although the show and sound was perfect, it was perhaps a little lacking in atmosphere.... Now I know why.
Still admire the man though.
