On a recent trip, Mark was joined by his good friend Doug Lewis. Prior to leaving, Doug takes a break in the "songwriting chair" in Mark's study. Unfortunately, Doug did not write a hit while sitting in the chair.

On March 25, 2004, Mark and Rick Strickland, Alan Livingood, and Buddy Liles performed together at the Waco Baptist Church in Waco, KY. After each fellow performed individually, they all joined together for a little quartet singin.' A good time was had by all.
