Man.. that just plain hurts.  I was at that SPAh in Kansas City and I got to know Mark a little bit. We talked for quite a while one night about trying to make a living as a road musician and about restoring Oldsmobiles and about a previous injury Mark had from an accident. He had played in this area back when I was writing about music and that was the initial hook to our conversation. Also had a nice visit with his guitar player.
I really liked his playing and I bought a CD that my wife and I still listen to fairly often.
I loved the name of his band and liked his approach to music.
One more of the good guys gone. 
My sympathy to his family, which has undergone some tough times.
