I watched the Christie's interview last night. My husband pointed out the slight tremor to me. I didn't notice it until then. I had the privilege of seeing MK and his band play multiple times from 2004-2019. From my perspective, one of his absolute best gigs was at the Count Basie Theatre in NJ which would have been maybe 2010? I always LOVED seeing him although some shows were better than others in terms of the energy. Often when I saw him it was towards the end of the tour and maybe everyone was a little tired. I remember when Mark hurt his back and continued on with the tour - he was clearly in pain but the show must go on. He was still great. I love the guy and his music, the band. I was sometimes able to get seats in the first row where you could look in his eyes and see the seriousness of purpose. I remember him looking out into the audience. No question in my mind that he had a passion for playing live. I am so grateful that he has given us so much. His music has sustained me through many a tough moment in my life. It is a constant, always there at the push of a button. I will miss the live performances but I am glad that he can still write songs, play, and record albums. He's still here, tremor or not and I'm so thankful.
