Some previous bands Mark has been involved with: </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Grease Release (several versions, including 8 piece horn band)</div> <div> Powderhouse Road Band</div> <div> The Breaks</div> <div> The T Birds</div> <div> Fat Cat</div> <div> Discovery</div> <div> The Mudpuppies (founding member)</div> <div> The Hurricanes</div> <div> Splash (founding member)</div> <bR> <div> Mark's Philosophy:</div> <bR> <div> “It doesn't really matter what instrument I'm playing. My focus is making music, not simply playing my instrument.  Fun is priority #1. If it's not fun, it's not music, it's another job. If the audience is having fun, it's a good gig.”</div> <bR> <div> When you hear and see Mark onstage, you will agree that he is both a great musician and entertainer.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
