Tim and Mark Separated at Birth

[Ari Rankum]

Somehow, Tim Bates (TWN) and Mark Knopfler often reminded me of each other.

Today is a day to listen to one and think about the other.

Peace.

Poignant. Thanks for that memory. I used to enjoy that tune immensely, especially while riding up a chair lift.

I'll have to download it for the memorial ride....

Now the sun's gone to hellAnd the moon's riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

There was a video or something sometime back that had the song Ghost Riders in the Sky by the Marshall Tucker Band in and it had something to do with Tim. I can't remember if he just commented on it or if he was in it or what, but I've always associated that song with him. In fact, it was his ringtone in my phone. That's what I've been listening to today.

edit: this wasn't a reply to jdog's post (just coincidental timing), but feel free to use it. it would be great.

Ahaha. Very good. I like it. ...By the way - excellent driving out there on the track. Nice to have met you at NAFO.

I'll remember Tim as having been absolutely giddy at that track that night. Everyone was having a fantastic time - he, especially so.
