What a beautiful reminiscence of your friend. You do him proud, keeping his memory alive. I listened to both Mark's and your rendition of Leap Day, which I loved, and what a nice confluence of timing. One of my oldest friend's birthday is on 2/29, so I sent the song to her, because truly, the lyrics fit the essence of her so well.
The song Waverly is a poignant story of many lives - that's what good music and lyrics do - paint pictures many can relate to.
Your stories and music are a pleasure to read and listen to. Both Mark brought, and you give joy and a spirit of generosity, using the talents God gave you. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Thank you Dear. Somewhere along the line Mark and I decided that being a singer-songwriter was a 'service job'. That's a pretty good guardrail for any public activity really. When I stray from that into ego gratification or greed, I hit the wall pretty quick. :0)
A heart felt tribute. I'm sure Mark is smiling down on you. I remember him from my time on FB, we had some wonderful exchanges and he had a gracious demeanor.
Mark made miracles, for sure. And his gentle skepticism made his belief in marvelous possibilities all that much more believable...thanks for bringing him back -- on Leap Day! He would have enjoyed that.

Thank you Dave great story. I remember seeing a show w your label mates in this quint coffeehouse up in Sierra madre mark was very enthusiastic 😊
In all the shit that gets thrown at us every day, it's nice to know that there are decent people in the world.
If everybody became determined to just be a decent human being, the world would repair itself overnight.
