    This quintet is badass. All the string players are fingerpicking-Worf on bass and Bennett picking an electric twelve string, too! Just the way MK likes. I’m with you fellers…MK is the best songwriter/vocalist/guitar player over the last four decades. Full stop.

      Truly!..i get the urge for this one at very odd hours..current neighbors much quieter than last set. headphones on super loud day starts soon & with it construction& city noise too much( too few even would know who mark is..let alone me...most have guns..here. I do not ..thanks to mark..i just might make it thru another day..cleaning my imaginary gun!)

    I'll say it again for this post... This man is a pure poetic and musical genius. IMHO, the most underrated singer-songwriter/musician of the last what, 40 yrs? How can he not even be on the Rolling Stones Top 100!?!? Just wrong..

    • @m.j.vandermark4614
      @m.j.vandermark4614 Před 3 lety +11

      I agree whole heartedly with your description of Mark and his awesome talents........but I'm of the view that he's too good for Rolling Stones Top 100......he's in a league of 10 or less Musical Greats; I'd add Bob Seger to that list, for very same reasons as for Mark....poetic and musical genius;... and, the older I get the more I say it.....they write and sing melodies that resonate with our ears, minds and souls. We're blessed to have them in our life-times.
