Listened that song for first time now and I am pretty sure that solo is NOT played by Mark.

"Who do you most get into listening to right now?
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. I have Wildflowers in one car and Highway Companion in the other. Those albums have all the tone, taste, and soul that you would ever need. I still love Andrew Gold

Even though Brent Rowan emphasises heart, it doesn't mean he thinks finesse excludes soul. TR is a perfect example of a song where finesse and technical ability are required. Imagine the baroque piano part being played in a sloppy manner ...

Quite the contrary, that's not what I said. It matters to me very much how it is played, it's paramount! That is why I don't think fastness should be at the expense of accuracy and feeling! Sorry I brought up the subject of TR, but that was what sprang to mind when I read your highlighted quote. I feel that TR, these days, is still played with masses of finesse and technical ability, together with feeling! Take a listen to Manchester 2010. :)

Anyway, we are talking about "Prairie Wedding" and I like the Kenny Rogers version very much! :D
