In my apparently "neverending quest" to bring Mark's name back to his website and have a discussion about him, his music, etc., I thought I would have another whack at it. I was thinking something in the way of testing everyones knowledge of his music. For instance, he recorded two songs with the person in the song being blind. Can anyone name these two recordings?

I encourage others to post their questions as well!!

Marlo,

I just downloaded a couple of re-recored songs yesterday. "When you open your eyes can you see the light?" Is one of the songs you are referring to Too Much Talk?

The first one is easy . Windy Wakefield.
Um...Don't You Know?

Marlo -- Windy Wakefield and uh....uh....

Good topic, Marlo!

I have to admit, I'm going to have to cogitate on this one a bit before answering, but it's a good topic.

How about Wendy Wakefield and the Old Man at the Fair.

Good try, 1junebug!! Marlene got them right -- "Windy Wakefield" and "Don't You Know."

I have another question though. Mark has two songs with references to an old man. One song has that in the title, and in the other song the line goes "I saw an old man cry today, but no one asked him why" which is a Raiders' tune. Can you name those two songs?

P.S. Marlene... Alex Trebek will be shipping out your prize to you.

Marlo

Windy Wakefield and Don't You Know is the correct response!

Now how about two songs with the phrase "see the girl with the diamond ring" in it???

Barb: "What'd I Say" and the other is "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On." Am I right?

Marlo

Marlo: "Old Man At The Fair" and "The American Family" ??

[..this is fun!! ]

Donna: You are very close. "American Family" is right after the correct answer.

How about naming the song that Mark sings about "killing a girl" (WHAT?!) if she left him. A hint: early Raiders...

It's written in such a manner , that the
listener is the person in the song.

it's also a different kind of blind.
it's the kind of blind that is the result
of a failure to realize or refusal to
acknowledge, which opens a whole new
can of worms.Sorry, too much talk.
