I started playing guitar when I was 13. I always loved music. When a friend of mine offered to sell me his old Gibson Melody Maker for $30, I jumped at the chance to have an electric guitar. I mowed lawns all week to get the $30, hoping he wouldn't sell it before I had earned enough money. I still have the Melody Maker, still play it.

The Band at the Indiana University Auditorium--after the self-titled album, right before the Band was on the cover of Time magazine. The musicianship, the sound, the performance--amazing. Still hope to be that good someday.

Allman Brothers. Friend's older brother played their first album for us and I knew what I wanted to be.

I have my own band-- The Mark Robinson Band, also the Kookamongas, and Tommy Womack and the Rush To Judgement.
I play with a number of songwriters/artists in Nashville-- Davis Raines, Randy Handley, Mike Cullison, Joe Sun and a bunch of others.

I'd bring a guitar instead-- then I could play thousands of albums.
