Absolutely! Our man. :wave

Yes!  :)

That's funny actually because I thought that was Mark who played the guitar on When You Leave. So it was a surprise for me to know he only did a "crooner" type of thing on it. And I also can't remember any tracks where he wasn't playing the guitar, so he's right there, too. A great addition to the list of songs for sure.

It would have been interesting to see the recording of this. I bet it looked quite awkward as there’s no way that MK is used to singing without holding a guitar so probably didn’t know what to do with his hands. If you watch Paul McCartney singing “Kansas City” at the  Concert for Montserrat, it’s obvious that he doesn’t know what to do with his hands.

You can see that in the Time In The Sun clip as well. He’s acting funny because he’s awkward singing without a guitar.

For me preforming without guitar is a suicide. You need something to protect you from the audience, and the best way is to hide behind the instrument, whether it's a guitar, or a piano or something. My personal pet peeve is singers who just sing and don't play any instrument... Especially when you don't have enough musicians and here's this guy, who just sings and do nothing.

Of course, if the guy has the personality of your typical non-playing frontman (Mercury, Morrison, both Morrisons, etc.) that's acceptable. But for people like MK, I think, singing without playing is almost like being humiliated.

Episode 13

The Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby

... One of my favourite B-sides. We've all got favourite B-sides, so why can't I play one of mine?

I wonder if Mark remembers how many great songs he has posted on B-sides, It's a pity that only on B-sides.

if they even made it on an official record, think about all the gems that did not even make it on a B-side.
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Christmas. Too many CDs. I return with pleasure to the radio programs of MK. I wonder if on the new album Mark is inspired by some of the songs that he proposed. Episode 10 is over. Tony Joe White "High Sheriff of Calhoun Parrish" - great.

I get back to this radio show very often. It's always a pleasure to listen to Mark's voice, the stories and the music.

Merry Christmas to all of you!  :wave

Yeah, I wish it would last more than 24 episodes though, I was ready for years... Like Bob Dylan's show, but 24 episodes is just too little. I think I counted it and it's 3 hours of MK talking overall, which is not bad. But could've been better considering he has his own studio, unlike His Bobness!

MKs shows were just awesome weren't they? A real pleasure to sit and listen to! Merry Christmas
