“Too many years ago when I first started studying guitar, my teacher said, ‘You need to go see this guy and you need to get there early if you want to get a seat.”
“Well I did and ever since I’ve been following Mark around trying to learn what I can. He’s not only a great singer and player, he is also an author, storyteller, keeper and teacher of songs, and a real good human being.”
“It warms my heart every time I see him so I will tell you what she told me: Go!”
Karen Barr, Berwyn IL
“Your new CD is right on target. There are lessons to be learned, more than just music… and the music is beautiful. There is a deep spiritual quality, and we all need uplifting during these times. I believe something really good will come of this…”
