mary@markwaltonlcp.comAlthough I grew up with a love and appreciation of music, I never attempted playing an instrument. After attending several music festivals I found myself drawn to the upright bass. So at the age of 48, and after a little encouragement from Mark, Janeen and my husband Pat, I decided to give it a try. In 2006 I purchased my bass, learned the basic chord structures from Mark and was hooked! There was/is no going back for me, the obsession and driving passion haunts me constantly. My influences include Ronnie Bowman, Alan Bartram, Mike Bubb and Todd Phillips, among many others.
I can not fathom a time that it will not be an essential part of my life.

janeen@markwaltonlcp.comMy husband Mark has played guitar since about 6th grade and I've been exposed to music through him since that time. I've played a few chords on the guitar during our past 28 years of marriage, but never really took an interest, or thought I was capable of playing an instrument. He bought a mandolin in February of 2004 and for the first time in my life I had the desire to attempt to play. Both the look and sound of the mandolin attracted me. I'm not a natural, but I'm understanding music on a level I never dreamed possible.
After being content to only listen to musicians for 47 years,
I feel I'm finally moving on to a new dimension of music and life through playing the mandolin...
