SEVERAL GUEST PLAYERS!!!!

Quite often though, that means it’s artists who Mark loves but we haven’t heard of. I wouldn’t expect people we have heard of but maybe that’s me being pessimistic!
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t have heard of Ruth Moody if she wasn’t a guest but I love her records now.
A charity project might be different though.

Thats the correct interpretation.
You might get lucky, now and then

What about the musical Local Hero ?
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

I wonder if they think anything about it.

Just to Stoke a few dead embers....

How many times did Mark say that the only good reason for a DS reunion would be for charity 😉

I can hope.....

Mark apparently saw ABBA reunion news and thought "wait a minute, if they can do it, I can do it too"! :lol

Oh my goodness-now I’m wondering what ABBA song I think Mark should cover. I can feel a new thread coming on!

I actually arranged "Thank You For The Music" for a resonator guitar in Open G and the song sounds amazing. I just never met anyone who's capable of singing that song and honestly, don't have a resonator guitar so never recorded it yet. I love that song. Abba songs are great songs so are extremely "coverable", even works on a banjo, like here:



So Mark could take almost any of their songs and end up with a hit.

I remember my music teacher from university commenting on how ABBAs musical arrangements were something to be studied and learnt from. An absolute tour de force in terms if writing and arranging.

I still can't get to grips with the 70s lycra though!  ;D

80s MK could have done a rockin' Does Your Mama Know a la Two Young Lovers.

Nowadays, not so much. Fernando sounds a bit like Lights of Taormina so maybe that one.

What about the musical Local Hero ?

I encourage you to ask Guy in his forum. Looks like i'm the only one asking, so the only one who cares. Maybe is needed that we show more interest on this in his forum?

Please do it!

When my kids were little I used to watch the main actress from the Local Hero musical on TV a lot.
