MARK :-

Hey Everyone,

I am so proud and excited to announce that my latest CD The Awakening is officially available on CD Baby, ITunes, Amazon, Rhapsody and other web sites starting today.

This has been a labor of love and I have so many people to thank for this wonderful project, I don't even know where to begin.  But Thank you to everyone out there who made this possible.  The music was re-mastered by Rainbo Records in LA and they did a fab job.  Stacey Austin and her beautiful The Awakeing Painting was a work of art so fitting of this CD cover and the way the digi pack and included poster came out was great.  Fred my co-producer for his tireless help, my wonderful family who supported me ever bit of the way and Big Al Bowman & Suzanne Griffie who showed me so many possibilities for the future, thank you to you all.

Thanks again and everyone be sure to pick up your copy of The Awakening at CD Baby today.

Peace Love and Much Happiness - Today Tomorrow and Forever.  MARK
