Description
Mark was born August 29, 1954 in Providence, Rhode Island. With an abundance of artistic talent on the maternal side of his family, and a father with a keen ear for music, Mark began at an early age to display noteworthy abilities in these two areas, both of which would be important to his future work as a guitar builder.
Mark began playing the guitar at age ten, influenced by the Beatles and other popular music of the mid 60's. Mostly self-taught, he played his father's old Stella flattop for two years before getting his first good guitar - a Gibson hollow-body electric. As a youngster, while learning to play guitar, Mark also began to develop an appreciation for the instrument itself, particularly instruments like the beautiful Gibson L-5 and Super-400. The early impressions made by these lavish instruments would linger and later resurface to influence Mark in the design and construction of his own archtop guitars.
As a result of his father's interest in music, Mark was exposed to musical styles other than rock and roll while growing up. The house record collection included everything from classical music to the popular and jazz standards of his father's era. Since Mark's father was also a guitar enthusiast, these recordings included the work of many fine guitarists playing in these styles, and listening to these recordings deepened Mark's interest in playing guitar. Eventually, the challenge of playing jazz guitar became a strong focus for him, reinforcing his interest in the guitar associated with that musical style - the archtop ...
