This is "Midnight on the Water". Mark plays it with some wonderful drones - hard stuff. He keeps the drones for Bonaparte's Retreat and, after playing it traditionally , takes it into the stratosphere like only Mark can!

Only 10 thumbs up.Somebodies slackin'.This guy does everything well.Won guitar,mandolin,and fiddle contests at the top level when he was in his early teens.Wrote all the music for a 34 minute symphony performance at the age of 37.It took 9 months,15 hours a day to do it.He's the man.

@pprinkey man, I hardly got to 3 minutes of this boredom and simplicity, what thumbs-ups d'you expect?

[fiddlestixgirl24]

@assa123assa123 Too each his own, but I think you missed the best part...it got better right after you turned it off if you really shut it off at about three minutes! :) It isn't simple. There's some pretty challenging stuff in here...I know because I play. :)

Remarkable.

Very very cool.. Mark lets the violin do the talking... and talking it does. If this is straight improvisation I am again astounded by his talent.
