Mark's solo show includes many great traditional delta blues numbers with a Chicago blues slant that transforms each tune into a "tour de force". Included are the blazing flatpicking techniques that grabbed audiences in Mark's bluegrass days, the hot slide guitar playing that creates a mood and tambre change in each set and, the showmanship that was developed from years of experience as a band "front man". The end result is a night of blues and boogie woogie that can't be beat -
