A Flower for the Tank

Welcome!  My name is Mark Christopher Brandt

By the grace of God, I have lived my life as a professional musician, composer and recording artist since I was a very young man.  My success is not measured in wealth or fame.  It is measured in my longevity and my ability to carve out a unique and creative niche which had me as the sole provider for my wife and children for many years.  

After the release of my 17th album, Joy (2021), I decided to remove myself from the gigging circuit to focus my energies on teaching, composing and bettering myself as a pianist in ways that I could not do when I was regularly and consistently performing and recording.  I have not retired.  I have intensified. 

This channel is a symbol of peace, beauty and love in a chaotic and harsh world. I hope to glorify God in a uniquely hidden way with posts from past to present while welcoming (but not trying to generate) the followers who will discover my channel and my music organically.  That means you.
