Our buddy Mark Piper is riding high, right about now  -- his original songs, an eclectic mix of rockabilly and what Mark calls “drinking songs”  and western swing -- have had more than 8,000 listens, on Reverbnation.

You can see Mark perform tonight at  Witherbee’s Open Mic Night. Sign up starts at 6.30pm,. It’s a great night out and an excuse to cool off.  And, you can listen to Mark’s songs, right here.
