“Thanks again for a great virtual concert last night…It was fun to see all the banjoes, to hear about their history, and to hear their unique voices. You made the most of an awkward platform for such a platform with humor and style…
Sarah Vessalo, Park Ridge IL Public Library
“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…”

“Mark Dvorak put on a fabulous show spanning many eras and genres, and filled with interesting stories.
"The audience was made up of people from St. Louis, Bartonville, Andover, Opheim, Galesburg, Princeton, Rock Island, Cambridge, Galva, Kewanee, Oak Run, and probably a few places I have forgotten.
“It is amazing how many people I have talked to in the past few days that have a connection with Mark. An older couple I spoke with have been following him for 20 years. One man’s son took a banjo lesson from Mark over a decade ago. One woman’s late husband wrote a review on one of Mark’s performances. Another woman has two sons who know Mark from their studies at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, where Mark has taught for thirty years.”
John Taylor, Creative Commons, Bishop Hill IL
