December 2008 Newsletter posted by on December 1, 2008

Dear Friends, Fans and Music Lovers
I hope this letter finds you healthy and happy in December 2008.

Merry Christmas !!
Blessings to all of you that keep me up and running all year long .
I am counting mine this month, and you folks are at the top of that list.
Thank you for your love, support and in many cases, years of friendship.
I have a grateful heart.
Cedar Creek has held me over and I continue to rock the Dal Rae
Both restaurants have decorated for the holidays and are spectacular.
I will be leading a trio this New Years Evening at the Dal Rae.
It will be a great night to end the year and welcome a new one.
Come on out and get down to da sounds of…… MC3 !!
Reservations are highly recommended
And……….Gift Wrapping up the back stories from “ Smooth As Silk ”
Here’s the last tunes.

Track #9 “Old Days ” is a tune I wrote as a funky jazz vehicle, in
tribute to Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs.Two of my favorite artist I enjoyed
while learning my craft, “back in da day “ This track features great Sax work by Sean Holt and once
again Tim Redfield’s production is superb !
Track #10 “ City Of Angels ”. Inspiration for this tune came from my
ongoing love affair with Santa Monica and that’s where Tim and I did most of the work on this CD.
Heading back home on the 10 freeway late at night can give you a beautiful view of our city,
and a lot to think about.
The Oklahoma in me still gets lost in it all and once again I end up with a grateful heart.

Hope to see you soon…………..Mark
