A little more time for that 66 Mustang and our beautiful
California Coast.

I hope you guys can cruise on by
and enjoy some fun summer music with me as
I perform some of those hits of the season.
“cause there ain’t no cure for the summer time blues !

Happy Easter !!
Hoping you rejoice in this holiday season

Speaking of family…

I just spent some time with my son and his wife. They are expecting their

forward to watching them grow and change as parents.
What a journey !

My daughter and her husband have a great little guy

It seems so long ago when my kids were that age
and yet in a heartbeat it feels like yesterday.

September 2009 Newsletter posted by on September 1, 2009

Dear Friends, Fans and Music Lovers
I hope this letter finds you healthy and happy in September 2009.

Sweet memories…….1969….Do you remember ? Woodstock, the Moon Landing, Credence Clearwater Revival ? I was going to school in Brea Ca.and falling madly in love with the guitar. I had a paper route and saved some money so my dad and I could attend a Chet Atkins concert at the Fabulous Forum on July 20 1969 The world was watching Neil Armstrong, dad and I were watching Chet. Fast forward, I took my son to see Chet 20 years later almost to the day ! Don’t tell anyone, but my best buddy John Anderson and I played at the grand opening of the first McDonald’s in Brea ….talk about bookings!

Who would have known all these years later, Brea had grown up and I would be playing my guitar there again ?
Hope to see you soon…………..Mark

Hey friends, It’s been a while and I need to catch up!!
Work has been keeping me busy,
mostly teaching and the restaurant gigs each week.
January came and I took some time off and drove up the coast to Monterey.
The weather turned out nice and it was relaxing and fun.
February came by and I enjoyed another birthday
as well as Valentines Day at the Dal Rae………nice !
March is here and I’m feeling a wee bit of me Irish bloodline!
Now, If I could only find me Blarney Stone 🙂

You Tube……….Me Tube
If you have never seen “The Mark Carter Project” live check out
a performance recorded at the Hip Kitty in Claremont CA. in 2008

And…wildly enough someone has also recorded
The Weather Channel using my version of “Walking In Rhythm” and has posted it also
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trsvVMeETjI

Yes, I guess we are all living in the world of “Reality TV” !
