About the Author
Mark A. Garcia is a working man's artist, songwriter, singer, musician, writer, and performance artist, from Minnesota where he lives with his wife (and co-partner in some of his creative endeavors), Patricia McQuarry, their dog Yuffie and cat Eddie. Their daughters, Jamie, and Riva (when not traveling) live in the Twin Cities. Mark, who is in his late fifties, experienced culture shock in the years between grade school and high school when he moved from the inner city to a small town suburb and there encountered many lily white blue eyed blonde haired hockey jocks and their cheerleaders.
He eventually stumbled on to others of his own mind and in the years from 1978 to 1982 with one in particular (Michael James Gray) he took ‘vacations’ that became journeys and homes away from home. Along the way he discovered multiple ways of opening a beer bottle without an opener (this was before twist off caps), to roll with one hand and how to flirt without even knowing it.
Oh, and as a side benefit he experienced freedom, friendship, life, love and all the subtle sounds within. This is that story, his first without sound; about sound. Take a read/listen.
Dedicated to my Mom, her Mom and all fellow travelers in life.
