I MET MARK AT MANHATTEN'S WHEN PLAYING W/JOHNNY STAR #& THE METEORS. HE BECAME OUR FILL IN GUITARIST & KEYBOARDIST. I GREW TO LOVE THE GUY & WE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT JAMMING,BUT NEVER HAD THE TIME. WE BOTH LOVED OUR HEINEKINS BUT I COULD NEVER KEEP UP W/HIM!I REMEMBER SEEING HIM AFTER THE BENSENVILLE CONCERTS & HE WOULD WALK UP W/A HEINEKIN ,RAISE HIS EYEBROWS & SMILE !! THE DAY MARK PASSED I WAS HIRED AS THE HOUSE BASSIST AT A NEW CLUB, I WAS SHOCKED AS THE CLUB OWNER WAS BENDING OVER TO BE NICE, I WAS ASKED IF I WANTED A DRINK & WANTING HEINEKIN I FIGURED I'D BETTER GET OUT MY WALLET BECAUSE IT WON'T BE FREE. I CAME IN WITH MY MIKE STAND AND THERE WAS AN OPEN HEINY ON MY AMP & 5 MORE ON ICE IN A BUCKET (TOO MUCH FOR ME)SHE SAID THIS WOULD SAVE ME FROM COMING UP TO THE BAR & THERE WAS NO CHARGE !!! ABOUT 1/2 HOUR LATER EDDY & DANA FROM HOT ROCKS CAME IN & TOLD ME MARK HAD PASSED THAT DAY. IF ANYTHING I HAVE TO THINK MARK WAS THERE RAISIN HIS EYEBROWS & SMILIN AT ME !! I'M GLAD TO KNOW HE'S NOT THAT FAR AWAY BILLY"C"CORSTON
