Mark Linthicum

I made a post right around Xmas and the censors must've deemed it "inappropriate". Mark has been hanging around apparently - probably just to let us know he is watching out for us. My wife and I were talking about our health and I said "I sure hope I don't go like Mark did." and BANG! This loud noise came from the general location where his old red Peavey bass is resting in my bedroom. There was nothing else in the area to make the noise. We both shook our heads and agreed it must've been...

The holidays were not the same and felt weird, thinking what occured last year. It was definitely a "Blue Christmas" w/o you. I was wondering if you were going to pull a Jacob Marley, pick a favorite Scrooge-friend and make an appearance. This is probaby the longest running Guest Book in history. Deservedly so. It's evident by all the entries how much everyone misses you, Harp. XXOO 4ever.

Mark died a year ago, and the one thing that keeps coming back to me, in perfect form, above everything else, is the actual sound of his laughter.

Besides leaving a fully stocked trust fund, it is the best thing a friend can leave another after they go. It is also the one thing I know that will never go away.

I find when I ask myself, "What would Markie do?" and I do what I think he would say, I end up having a whole lotta fun.

Kim, let's get together this...

I assume the words written by my alter-ego were deemed inappropriate- censored in other words! You saw them from wherever you keep tabs on all of us, so we are cool.A year passes and we grow a bit. I carry on the musical quest. God rest ye merry gentle man. L.U.V., Dave

Merry Christmas Markie....
The Linthicum's gathered in Frederick and a good time was had by all. But there was someone missing and you were on our minds. Ryan and I shared our sadness on the drive up.

I hope you are keeping an eye on all those you love and smiling.

A year has past without you. 365 since you were alive. I try to visualize a brighter day.I try to carry on with our mission. Sometimes I wish- we could just go fishin'.We've got a gig at the old Sidebar. I wish we could get loaded in my car.Everyday. I am missing U.

I can't believe it's been a year since we lost you. Sometimes it feels like forever, others like it was yesterday. But time was like that with you. If we went four years between meetings, you seemed to be able to pick up right where our earlier conversation left off.

So, I doubt you're up there looking down at us. You probably have something much more interesting and creative going on. But I just wanted to let you know that I miss you, my friend. The world just isn't the same...

Merry Christmas Mark!

The street is a madhouse as usual and the "FRAGILE" Lamp is lit in your honor.

Last week, Bill (Def Mate') brought home a new DEVO cd/dvd with alot of cool live performances, even the band performing as DOVE. Watching it, we couldn't help but say man, Harp would haved loved this. Neither one of us could say anything else because we knew tears would follow. I keep your picture taped to my computer at work. We miss you more than words can say. Saw you in dream a while back. I said, "I thought you were dead." You just laughed your famous laugh and said, "Naw, not really."...
