Sorry to disappoint you but, no I am not THE Mark Mars. I didn't realize there was a real Mark Mars until after I took the moniker for the fan club. I read Einerson's book and then discovered the truth. It made me think about changing the moniker, but I haven't done so yet. Anybody have any thoughts of whether I should change my "name"??
I am alive and well,sir (though I am recuperating from a twisted knee injury from skiing) and hope that the true Mark Mars is alive and well also.
Tom (Mark Mars)

I guess it makes sense that you picked a different-name moniker, there are a lot of 'Tom's' on this board (still one of my favorite men's names). makes me feel kind of lame about just going by Heidi/navygirl. I thought of being Brenda Lee....thought that would be too presumptious.....then figured it was too late to change....

> So Burton gave a lucky few of us his versions of "Something Happens ..." "Daydream Believer" and "Mack The Knife", as well as a 20 minute medley of some of his favorite songs, and someone still provides a criticism - this is beyond my comprehension. I haven't stopped playing the CD since I've received my copy from Fred, and can't wait for volume 2.
(I also created my own cover, cd tray liner and cd label, and you should see the faces of people as they inquire which store I purchased this cd from).
