Images and comments from the tour's first show in Phoenix (Scottsdale - Arizona MusicFest) December 6th, 2022

Scottsdale – Arizona MusicFest 

"This was an outstanding concert. Thank you for a superb show - we enjoyed every minute!" Our first in years and an awesome experience of virtuosic excellence. Impeccable musicianship with 5-star, quality sound system! We loved the "fireside" reading about the white violin. - Ukiah Odom 

"We enjoyed the show tonight…great show!!!" - Joe Hickey  

"Exquisite! We loved the concert; we were spellbound. Grateful for you & your wife’s musical gifts! Thank you for sharing with us tonight." - Mike Milkey  

"It was an awesome show" -  Barbara Chinn Elk

 "We all loved the show Mark, Maggie was fantastic and "minor swing" was some sweet icing on the cake! Have a great tour!" - Eric Williams 

"The concert in Scottsdale was spectacular. The mandocello did transform everyone in the audience into a peaceful bliss. You and Maggie play so expressively together, and the way you weave melody and harmony and pass it back and forth is amazing. Such virtuosity on all the instruments. Enjoyed hearing you read an excerpt from your upcoming book about the white violin AND hearing you play it - wow! Anyone can see how much you love playing that violin and how special it is to you. Maggie played, sang and looked beautiful in her red gown. Thank you for the wonderful performance and wish you well on the rest of your tour. Also enjoyed hearing your new Christmas song." - Linda Bowen
