King of the blues has left the building... right when the Mark's tour starts. How more cruel it could be?

Mark mentioned once that his Live at the Regal album was inspirational to him.  A sad day in the history of music.

Mark playing a song for somebody on his concert? In another lifetime, maybe. I bet Paul McCartney will play something on 23th of May.

Such a sad day.

I feel gutted whenever the world loses yet another original storyteller of the blues. Telling stories through music and real instruments about where it came from and why.

There will never be any more King's or Muddy Waters'.

The sky is crying.
