When I got lymphoma, I decided to suspend work on my thesis and form another band to record my original tunes. The tunes were mostly written while I was on the road with The Doctor Wu Rock and Soul Revue. I recorded that first album "Heavy Mariner" with funds raised here at Kickstarter!
Among the adventures we've had, at our first session to lay down rhythm tracks we followed Gin Blossoms drummer John Richardson into the studio. He was so cool, he let us borrow his drums to record our tracks. How cool is that?
Two of the tracks off that album "Three Speeds In Reverse" and "You Better Believe It" made the long Grammy Ballot in October. I won't know if I got a nomination until December.
Band membership has been fluid and daws from my many musical friends who were willing to work for free.
As far as the cancer goes, I've been on a clinical at MD Anderson for about 2 years and as long as the results are stable, I will maintain that Status Quo. I will eventually need a Bone Marrow transplant, so I am trying to do everything that is important to me before that day comes!
I have to apologize that the DVDs took so long. Nevertheless, I finally got the last of the packages out last Thursday. So those of you who sponsored at a level to get a DVD will have one in hand in the next few days (if you don't have them already.)
Thanks everyone. It's been a good week for me and my projects.
I dig this song.

Great job folks. Thanks for everything!
I played it while Amy was here, and she was totally bobbing her head. That means the song is GOLDEN! Trust me :)
Not so lame, Mark. Great promo as usual. The tune speaks for itself. It will definitely make a great video.
Cheers.
Hi Honey,
Thought I'd get the ball rolling. Good Luck and I love you.
