Mark O is great to see on the street. He has a way of communicating with people passing by - he'll get a smile with his lighthearted word play or alter a tune to fit the moment for example. You get a little of it at the end of this recording. Recently he asked me to record some more of his music and help him compile a CD. I recorded six more songs - all acoustic this time - down in the Montgomery pedestrian tunnel. Some of it is straight blues improv. To alter the tone a bit sometimes he will hold a cardboard tube on the other side of the harp as if it were a mic and play. A real cool trick when playing acoustic. The recordings turned out well and I believe he has been selling it the CD.
