and from interview Knopfler at
   http:www.neck-and-neck.com :

- Q. Are there times when a song just calls out to be a duet ?

- A. Yeah, there's a point that happens where the song strikes you
-  that it could work as a duet format. Sailing To Philadelphia
-  though was very much like that because of the two characters.
-  I was reading this Thomas Pynchon book, Mason and Dixon, ....it
-  was such a huge doorstep of a book, its a fantastic book, you know,
-  my thing was to do like a three minute take on a three year book -
-  if you know what I mean - and have the two characters sing their
-  parts really and James Taylor had asked if I would produce him
-  and I had a couple of chats, and he was kind of on my mind and
-  it occurred to me that he would be really ideal to play this part,
-  if you like, it was almost like fitting a character to a part and
-  I needed the sort of West Country... and with James' folk background
-  I thought that he could play Charlie Mason.


let me be the first to suggest a Group Read of _Private Investigations_.
