For a portion of the free world to descend upon us is no small task to contend with , but our fair city officials and residents do so with such class and dignity . We love the energy that it brings from musicians and industry professions from all points . South by Southwest forever .

New Mark Campbell CD to be released
Evidently I recorded too many songs for one album , so there will be either be a double set , or at least a bunch of short songs on one CD , with a secret link to another website full of other songs to listen to , for a limited time after the release . Maybe not .Woo hoo .
New demo added : Angel Eyes by John Hiatt .
One of my favorite songs of all time . What a writer .
