Al, Dennis, Brian all with projects hopefully on the way. In the meantime, how about some David Marks?
This from the news section below. Worth its own topic IMO.

David Marks Add comments Per David Mark's web site:
The Lost Years 3 CD Special Edition collection of nearly 3 hours of music spanning the 40 years from David Marks & The Marksmen through to David’s latest solo release, I Think About You Often.
We ended up with more than 2 CDs worth of material so David decided to shuffle things around and add a few more tracks and ended up with just under 3 hours of music on 3 CDs instead.
Disc One features 17 tracks worth of David Marks & the Marksmen! The CD features a wide variety of recordings…including never-before-heard songs and studio out-takes.
Disc Two includes recordings from the real “Lost Years” With over an hours worth of unreleased recordings, historic jams, demos, alternate versions and studio out-takes from the Moon to Warren Zevon and the Flies, to David’s unreleased “Low key Intensity” tracks featuring his own arrangements of his favorite Beach Boys songs.
Disc Three is a bonus compilation CD of nearly 2 dozen of David’s favorite tracks from his released solo catalog. Starting with Gary Montgomery’s Angie by the Colours and closing with the full I Think About You Often CD from last year…this is a great CD that highlights David’s evolution as singer, songwriter and musician.
For anyone who has read The Lost Beach Boy, this collection is basically your audio guide to the book and includes most of the songs Jon Stebbins details during the story. For those of you who haven’t read the book yet, the CD and book (both signed) are available through DavidLeeMarks.com... bought together, they are a great way to unravel the mystery of the Lost Beach Boy.
4 tracks from the collection are currently available on David’s MySpace page at MySpace.com/DavidMarks
