366songs

About Me

Every day in 2008 I will attempt to post an original demo recording of an original song. All the songs will be available for free, and will also be open to the public through "Attribution By" Creative Commons Licenses. That means you can cover them, remix them, and do what you want with the DRM-free files.

Mark grew up in Florida and Pittsburgh and bought his first guitar from Wal-Mart at age eighteen. His poems have been published in several small journals and recognized by the Academy of American Poets. Prior to starting 366 Songs, he had a very limited understanding of music. He hopes to maintain some of that innocence.
