, my impression is that Mark is finally beginning to feel time gaining on him. When asked what he misses about the 'old days' he references the indomitable youth (or something to that effect) and then after playing on the German program, he says it takes him longer to remember the chords. My sense is that this is a new perspective for MK who always had the ultimate confidence in his musical ability. Oh, and the red eye thing. I had an elderly relative that developed the same thing as she got older. So, I don't think it has anything to do with getting a cold, but rather is a condition that is here to stay for MK. Saw Gordon Lightfoot recently who is still at it in his seventies. Hope MK doesn't follow in his footsteps, but rather, knows when to call it a day. I am not saying he is there yet, but I think for the first time, it is entering his consciousness.
