Hi! I'm new to this forum. I recently joined because I was thinking about Mike Marker. Actually, I got to thinking about Mike because I was listening to Tom Paxton this morning (my wife mentioned the name Lee, and I said “Lee Iococa?”— she said no and laughed— so I had to listen to Paxton’s Chrysler song…) and eventually I went to play Paxton’s This World Goes Round and Round which I have a very joyous memory of Mike playing at Western Washington University Campus in the quad, outside, busking you might say, but it felt like he just really enjoyed getting people to sing, like a real folk singer. I mean it! He was unlike any other.
So I searched on googles to see if he was still around, found a tribute on Mudcat. That’s how I arrived here.
