Just a small gathering of 80 people. And Mark doing what he does best.



Just back from our ride Sunday......

Don, Mark and Mel...the seventies music was the best. I'm jealous...how did he sound? My big brother plays guitar and my little brother plays bass guitar, he plays in a band named the "AllMighty Senators" out of Baltimore.

Mark sounds just like he did back in the day. We even had a discussion on this. Of all those rock stars from back then, many have lost the voice even tho a lot of them haven't. Mark still has it is all, even his wife Lisa agreed with us. If ever there was a chance to pal around with him and learn from him, I'd do it in a heart beat. But as Mark and Lisa said, they are busier than they ever thought they'd be. The big thing for them is a tour to South America this year. Several stops in various countries down there.... and they can't wait for it to happen.

As you might not know, he's no longer with Grand Funk Railroad. You could say he was "railroaded" out of his band. Mark has a few more expletive words as to what happened that I can't say.
