An original member of the Beach Boys (grew up with the Wilsons, recorded on their first most notable records) Reverb drenched surf and high quality “Big Guitar” as you might imagine. “…He went on to front the Marksmen, worked with acts including Casey Kasem's Band Without a Name, the Moon, Delaney & Bonnie, Colours and Warren Zevon, and studied jazz and classical guitar at the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory”. Play with Dwayne Eddy, Link Wray, Dick Dale and with the fabulous Jack Miller CD on the afile right now. Great covers at tail end.

Special thanks go again to Al Perry, “the mayor of Tucson”, who sent this to me with the Miller CD, having connections to both Marks and Miller.
