   Mark 's Blurbs
About me:
I've been playing music since I was 13 and my mom thought I needed something to replace my "air guitar". My first record was "Hair" in third grade and joined the Columbia Record Club for the first time in fourth grade. Could say music matters A LOT. Took up the bass at 16 because my church youth group had about 6 guitarists and no bass. Became agnostic while attending Aquinas College. Been bass player for the Willeys for 14 years and just started standup bass a couple years ago which I now play with Arganik. Also recently joined Hazy Past and play with the Bascom McGhee Band when they gig. Have many musician friends and I enjoy the challenge of playing with new people. And now internationally with Mokum and Yooper! It would be cool to meet them someday.
Who I'd like to meet:
Corey Pavin, Chris Onstad and Iggy Pop on the first tee at Augusta. Liz Phair drives the beer cart.

Hi Mark!

To be honest, other than free food, I am not looking forward to Thanksgiving! The family fight! The food throwing! The children cussing!  And that is just in the driveway before the family even gets in the house!  oh, and to the relative who got mad because I left a cigarette butt in the pumpkin pie I made....well, they will just have to get over it!!!

Tell the family The Housewives said hello!

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

Have a good Labor day weekend!  Hope all is well with you, the family and your band!  I guess Pumpkin season will be here soon, as well as apple season!  The full moon is in Pisces, which I am told, is a gentle kind full moon! So hope all is going well with you...have you seen any good movies lately?  I enjoyed the last Harry Potter movie, I don't read the books, but I do think the movies are visually beautiful to watch!  Take care!

Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting dreams have two gates: one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. Those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them.
