Parlor is packed The parlor at the after hours is packed. Lots of action going on upstairs and serious card playin going on at tables downstairs. But ole' Mark, he's got the front hall parlor jammed up with all them pretty ladies in a daze, mesmerized by those fancy hypnotic fingers, moving along his ornately inlayed fretboard, laying down luscious lines between them fancy cityboy chords. Thanks for transporting us back to them Joplinisque ragtime days. |

Man.. you make me want to stop playing and take up the bass or something every time I hear a tune from you. I just love your playing Mark. Stellar to say the least. C. BTW, A little "Django" in there? |

That wonderful clarity is always evident in your songs Mark and I love this style of playing..... just rolls along as though the notes are rolling off your fingers without effort. I agree with Damiengh about the Joplin style/sound, excellent, cheers M |

Mr. Strat Good stuff ... as always. Nice job of recording too. I like what Thoddi said here about the style and confidence. So many people grab the instrument (guitar especially) with the idea of impressing people with the technique instead of using impeccable technique to impress us with the song. |

Reminds me... ...of Pete Kairo and Guy Van Duser...that whole 'stride guitar' thing... I've gotta say, Mark, you're one of the guys in this world who dived into technique, and got all the technical stuff down, and came out the other side with whole vast acreage of your wryly joking soul intact... What matter if some of us continue to yearn for your definitive metal statement? Always a pleasure.... Ed |

:) Good to hear some real playing Mark - you have such a way with those 6 strings. Impressed in Oz - and your recordings are getting better and better each time. Cheers, Neil |

Enjoyed Chet Atkins thumbpick sound, plus the electric sound you get. Not sure if you used the thumbpick but it doesn't have that thump chet sound. I think it would be great if you list how you obtained this sound. It would be interesting to know! It sounds like you have a chorus added, not sure what type of guitar Enjoyed though. Way to Go! |

Rolling, indeed... But still a bit of rocking, I keep focusing and listening to the bass line in this for some reason. Kind of a jolly little feller/gal, this tune is! In in event, there's a bit of light hearted playfulness going on here; I like that! Great Job, Mark! As always!!! Thanks! Macca ps - thanks for the freebie! |

Wow the hardest thing to do is to pull of something so "easy back porch listenin'" when anyone who has strapped on a 6 string knows how hard it is to do. It's what made Chet Atkins so popular - not his skill, but his ability to make it translate to common listenin' folk. |

Impeccable as always Your playing is above all tasteful. Not a note out of place, and everything played with seemingly the utmost ease. A pleasure as always. |

Rollin Don't know how I missed this but I'm glad I caught up eventually. I find it realy hard to pick on electric guitars and I realy admire your skill in being able to get this sounding so clean. Nothing more to add - just excellent all round! Thanks Steve |

What pleasant mood and great playing you serve us. You play this style with confidence and deliver the music without the complexity of the technique getting in the way. Brilliant!
