Mr.Eskin was not just an orgasmic multi-musician. In my behalf atleast a few times,, he saved my bitter ass upon some last minute gigs, and even did so with flawless results. When I would be somewhat a nervous nilly on stage,floor, platoe or byway. I would ask him,,,,,Mark?,, do ya know this one?? Kin ya do that one?? How about dis one?? He would just turn to me, smile, n do so utterly gracefully saying. Don't worry about it. We'll have it covered. Let me tell ya!! He was'nt lying. If there ever was a mistake made. It was by the weakest link,,,,,,,,,,Me!!. An EXquiste, n Superior Musician who most will never find, seek, or acknowledge ever again, even at a 200 year lifespan. His Wisdom, character, n humbleness is yet something else we most shall never visualize again. This sad, sad news upon our fellow musician Mark, can only encounter a very dark, dark weekend followed by an impossibility in finding anyone even 50% his clone. I will miss him severly as most will do of same. BUT,,!! it is of GiGANTiC proportion, that Mr. Lennon, and Mr. Harrison will be Thankful as can be to have such a perfect fill-in for thier Heavenly Band such as Mr. Eskin!! x Chuck Manola//Bang Zoom & the Whamo's
