Paul Wheeler played in the Shock Poets also! Great drummer! Mark was awesome
drummer too. I can't believe people are slagging him off. Great voice (if
I'm right in thinking he sang lead on "Comes a Time"), great drummer, great
song writer...need I say more!? I thought he was quite subtle with his
religious stuff but you could see it was in there.
