Mark O'Connor was 15 years old this night. He spoke often about his skateboard setup in his back yard. He was a skateboard master too. No kidding. When he was 13, Mark won the Winfield Kansas Nat'l violin championships. At 14, he won the national guitar flat-pick championship. In 1977, Mr. Mark O'Connor won both violin and guitar flat-pick championships at Winfield Kansas Championships. Here is his winner's list.
Be sure to hear Mark play guitar here on the 2 Rags -- slam-Cotton Patch and dunk-Beaumont! Super clean sound. Remarkable guitar playing! Mark O'Connor is an American Master and a national treasure. The fumble by Bill Millet at the top of the guitar track gives us a timeless belly laugh. We were having some 420 issues outside, during the break, just preceeding. | |
