Hi Friends, Fans and Music Lovers

Last month I shared how music came into my life.
I want to go back because I forgot an important part.
There was always a guitar in the house I grew up in.
My dad and my three older brothers could play a
couple of chords at one time or another.
So the guitar was always there.

In high school I become obsessed with practicing,
everyday after school 3 or 4 hours and just enough
homework to get me through classes. By the time I was a senior 
I was making money playing in a band that played military bases 
on the weekends and helped the band director teach a guitar class 
at the junior high.

The writing was on the wall...

I graduated in June and in October I was playing
in a restaurant with a singer in Pomona CA
The following year we put together a band and played 
Holiday Inn's and the Hilton chain up and down the coast.
I was paying my bills playing the guitar.....

200-300 jobs a year for 50 years.
100's of recording sessions as a guitarist.
Churches, Weddings, Restaurants, Bars, Anniveraries,
Birthday parties, Hotels and Private Country Clubs in 
Los Angeles and out to the desert.

Celebrity gigs with Englebert Humperdink,
Glen Campbell, Al Jarreau, Lee Greenwood,
Dave Koz, Roger Williams, David Foster
and live TV at the Crystal Cathedral...and more

Like any other job there's been highs and lows
but I'm grateful to still be using God's gift every week
And......There's more to come...

Stay Healthy, Stay Blessed
Love from West Covina CA.........Mark
