Mark Carter Productions

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers

Man, this year is flying by,
and work is a keepin’ me busy.
But I had some time the past few weeks to
spend with my grown children and their families.
Always good to find that kind of time,
as I watch my family grow.

Musical Influences…..
The great Wes Montgomery
was born March 6 1923.
A huge part of my life and music.
I think about him every year at this time.
I was 13 years old when an older brother
gave me a copy of his LP  “Tequila”
………Life changing.
A Jazz Guitar Masterpiece !
Check it out sometime, it’s worth the drive.

And speaking of drives…..

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers

Happy Thanksgiving !

I’m feeling awfully grateful….
This year mark’s my 40th year
as a working musician in So Cal.
It’s been a great ride with plenty of
peaks and valleys. Yet still, NOTHING
rock’s my boat like standing in front
of people and playing the guitar.
I’m praying for 40 more and
counting my blessings.

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers

How was that summer fun  ??
Mine are always busy with extra performances
and this one was not much different…
Counting my blessings !

So here we are in October and I’m ready to
catch my breath for a little bit. I will spend
some time with the kids and their
families and enjoy a few days off.

BUT…..  A new project awaits….
I have a 5 inch binder full of lyrics
that is being converted into PDF’s
for my new iPad. Away with the paper.
FYI…..
There is another 5 inch binder
in my brain, and yet another one I have
forgotten over the years 🙂
Soooo…Come visit my new iPad !!

Thanks for all your support ..
Blessings…..Mark

Music Legends…..
There have been so many, giving so much.

LAST CALL:
The Mark Carter Project will be the opening act for
music legend Steve Tyrell on Aug. 23 2013
at the Coach House in Capistrano.
We will be playing the music I composed and
recorded on my CD’s, a mix pop with jazz .
Like a good bowl of soup for the soul .
I hope you can make it.
The tickets are $35 for both shows and
Call me and I wil get them to you .

And speaking of soul food…
just sitting here reflecting on Mr. George Duke
This week God called him home.
A legend in contemporary jazz & pop.
His piano playing and producing touched so many.
I was able to see him last year at the Hollywood Bowl
with Marcus Miller and David Sanborn.
What a great show !!
R.I.P. George Duke you gave this world so much.

How was that July 4th celebration?

I performed for a dinner dance at a private country club.
Featured on the menu was…
Mark’s Fried Chicken.. a first for me.
Great crowd and we had a fun time ,
and the chicken was pretty good  too !

This month, I’ll be celebrating my son’s daughter’s first
birthday and looking forward to spending time with family.
Happy 1st birthday Louisa !
