My name is Mark. I live in Atlanta.

I started writing music again in September of 2011 after a 9 year hiatus. I stopped playing after losing a fiance to cancer in 2003. Frankly, music didn't mean shit to me. I needed to physically move so I got my motorcycle license and rode a lot. I sold most of my gear and just left myself a few acoustic guitars which I almost never picked up for many years.

During the spring of 2011, I had my Larrivee acoustic repaired as the bridge was starting to come off the body. Once repaired, I started leaving it out on a stand and gradually started to pick it up some, usually when I had caught a buzz (lol). In early September of 2011, at my sister's cabin in the north Georgia mountains, my awesome girlfriend challenged me; she said that every time I picked it up I played the same 4 or 5 little chunks of music and I should turn one into a song.

So, I wrote a song called 'light rain' and now I'm now working on my 25th song :-) Many of them are presented here as demos, live videos, etc.

My plan is to keep writing, performing, recording and presenting my songs to anyone who will listen. Maybe I can sell a song as well. And at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is how well you can perform live. How good my songs are and how well I can perform them I will leave for you to decide.

Thanks for listening.
