How Mark T Made His Mark

Money for nothing... Newmark & Lewis you see Was where Mark T worked And was visited, By a famous rocker Who likely got the idea from him I long wondered if true And have been more than satisfied With the proof. I thought this tribute was done, Then I realized I'd missed the mark...(and I do miss Mark, believe me) Mark's mark was really on those He shared the earth with. No one ever influenced me musically more than Mark. What he taught me, I couldn't have learned in Juilliard's. And not just music. Mark was way ahead of his time. Way ahead. He had his weaknesses, who doesn't? But he did have a good heart. He was a good friend. I am sure he was a good father. I was in numerous bands with him. Like I earlier stated, somehow his presence calmed me, even when we were facing unscaleable obstacles. Once he brought over two albums, pre- band practice. I was introduced to Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother", and the Dead's Live Dead version of "Dark Star" To this day, these are my favorite pieces of music, particularly "Atom Heart". How I wish we could have spent more time together. How I grieve, with his family. Only years later learning of this. Countlessly trying to reach him prior. Someday I will.
