Welcome to our "I Just CAN'T Wait Immediate Satisfaction Center"!
In addition to offering selected downloads of songs that are also available on CDs (along with lots of groovy memorabilia and pix) at >
Mark Lindsay's Groovy Stuff, we are thrilled to announce the debut of our new series called "Mark in the Raw".
Before you get any ideas, we'd better tell you that we've been looking for a way to get out some of those cool demo's and other "raw" (i.e. not polished, at least by Mark's standards) recordings that have been languishing around his studio for years, just itching to be heard and appreciated by everyone clamoring for "MORE MARK!"
So here they are, shown by the "Naked Tan Da Vinci Guy" logo. If the demand warrants, we'll add a few new songs each week for your listening pleasure.
So, feel free to wander around, click on song titles to be able to listen to a sneak peak of each song, and most of all...enjoy!
