MK played a concert with Mike Henderson in 1998!
« on: August 23, 2019, 01:39:30 PM »
Digging at the TR mailing list I found this mail:

 On Monday, June 29, MK played at the Bluebird Cafe, a
     place that is known for showcasing music by the best songwriters and
     "undiscovered" talent that Nashville has to offer.  Glenn Worf has a
     gig there every Monday with the band "Mike Henderson and the
     Bluebloods."  (Apparently, Mike Henderson (a guitarist) and Glenn Worf
     are also affiliated with the band "Dead Reckoning," as are other
     members of the Bluebloods, though I am unfamiliar with this band). 
     Anyway, rumors were flying that MK would show up to support Glenn, so
     the place was packed.  Sure enough, MK was with the band for and
     played for the entire show, which was over three hours.  Mark didn't
     play any Dire Straits or solo material -- they only played Bluebloods
     songs.  I'm sorry I missed it.  It's hard to think of a more intimate
     setting for a show than the Bluebird.  The musicians are so close to
     the crowd you can practically touch their instruments.

   I thought you would all be intersted in that... I'm so mad that I didn't hear
about that, as we would of stayed longer in Nashville for that! OH WELL!
You might get lucky, now and then

I wish Mark would play 3 hour concerts now
That said, interesting piece of news, thanks! Maybe one day a recording will surface.
