Jay Funk Dawg Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I love him. He is a wicked guy, with his heart in the right place, and a deadly singer/songwriter. I'm so happy to call him my friend. see you at the Come Together Fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 marks music rocks, i've never seen anyone put more soul or emotion into what they sing. he always has a smile and is a cool guy to be around.and no one was naysaying ctmf I was simply stating my dissiopintment in the line up, witch has nothing to do with mark as a person and more to do with what bands were available i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay sanislo Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 2 thumbs up to mark. The guy has had this going for years now. Anyone who can keep a good thing goiin this long deserves an appreciation thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I have much respect for Mark and the work he puts into ctmf. Since I've been in Hamilton I have heard counless stories (and I mean countless) of the good times people have had at his shows. As well he's a great singer and wicked soundman, if he would just clear out his answering machine messages so somebody can leave a message I would have no complaints about him at all.well sometimes he' s bit late, and there was that time he wouild'nt put me on the guestlist and his van sucks, and I liked his hair better when it was a big fro. ok, I have siome complaints but this isn't a Mark Wilson complaint thread that already happened so I just wanted to say Mark's cool. and that he's playing Pepper Jack's this Thursday, check him out.

TheSloth Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 The fire victims in Ottawa (Me, Howler, Velvet) really appreciate what he did for us - a very nice guy that went out of his way to help people out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 When he arrived at our house-warming party around 3am it made Leanne's night. His music is some of her personal favourite (AND MINE TOO!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I don't think I have ever officially met Mark. I think that he may know my face and I have talked to him, but I haven't had the distinct pleasure of really meeting him. Despite that, I know he's got a heart of gold, and plenty of brilliance to share both musically and spiritually. I love his taste in music! His performances are unmatched and I sure would like to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 cheers to Mark for sure... many of my best times have centered around his organizingshis music rocks as well... deeply soulful and genuine... looking forward to seeing him solo this Thurs (as KC mentioned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I don't think I have ever officially met Mark. I think that he may know my face and I have talked to him, but I haven't had the distinct pleasure of really meeting him. Bouche, didn't you, me, Jeff and Mark have a long chat sidestage at May CTMF last year? I think it was either right before or right after Diesel Dog. Anyway, yes cheers indeed to Mark - notwithstanding the fact that he hasn't returned any of my calls lately - hint hin if you're reading this Mr. Wilson! But seriously, he does a fine job of CTMF and he's an extremely talented singer and guitarist to book. Hope to see you again soon my friend. Peace, - Mr. M.

rayman Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Definately a true old soul with plently of good energy. Thanks Mark for setting us up for the CTMF it's going to be a sik and wicked May 2 4 weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 When Mark sings, he reminds me of Joe Cocker or Jerry in that no matter what song he's singing, it always sounds like Mark. And that's one of the higher compliments I can pay a musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Mark Wilson as a musician ... the man has an incredible voice, one that makes me shiver at times when I hear it. He sings from the soul. Mark Wilson as a promoter ... one of the key reasons why we have a "jam music scene" in Southern Ontario. He ran the first Come Together Music Festival 5 years ago, and has poured countless hours into each festival since then. And in case people don't realize it, promoting any live music event, especially a festival, requires a substantial amount of risk. Mark has taken the risks and put in the work to build something that we all get to enjoy. Not to mention all of the other shows that he has put on. Mark Wilson as a friend ... personally, if it wasn't for Mark, I don't know if I would be involved in the jam music scene to the extent that I am. It was after meeting Mark early in 2001 that I decided to get involved (again) in grassroots live music experiences. I cannot begin to express how enriched my life has become through this whole community. That's a topic for another thread. Mark is a good friend of mine - he's stayed at my house, met my wife Liana and my children, and we've talked and dreamed together about many things. Mark is somebody that I trust to come through when it really counts. Peace, love and hugs to Mark Wilson from Mark Tonin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Mark Wilson is a great guy, one of the kindest people I've met in the scene. Mark does have a nice voice when he sings, and although there will be lots of complaints about the line up for May 24 CTMF, it's better to get everything started on the right foot, fix all the gliches, then bring in some bigger talent... There's still one more CTMF this year after the May 24... Who knows what he's got planned for that one... Cheers to Mark Wilson, for all he's done, and is still doing to help promote this canjam scene... I'll raise a "pop" to you now... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I love to hear Mark sing and play, always from the heart. And he consistantly puts on great shows for us all to enjoy. We're all better people for his efforts Cheers to Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
