Mark Farner does tour on Occasion. I saw him in 1995 with Ringo Starr and his
all star band. Currently he tours doing Christian Rock. Peace- PA the DJ

Well I really didn't expect anyone to reply, but am glad that a few
did. Yesterday I went out to buy GFR's album On Time, but had no
luck finding it. So I dropped $40 and bought the Thirty Years of
Funk........I haven't stopped listening to it. It's got a great
history of the band and the music's amazing. I can tell it's not
really blues, but it's got soul. I guess it's their Mowtown
influence. They also sound really funky. I mean I find myself just
sitting there bobbing my head up and down like I'm in a rap video.
I can't believe I've missed out on these guys. I'm listening to the
song Walk Like a Man...."by the time I'm in my prime I'm gonna strut
like a cock until I'm 99"....that's great! I must say that I like
the song Footstompin' Music better than Rock 'n Roll Soul. To me it
just seems funkier. I also forgot how much Some Kind Of Wonderful
rocks. I couldn't stop listening to it last night. I'm seeing a
girl that I've known for a couple of years and the song really hits
home. Is it true that Don Brewer was lead vocals on that song? And
how come Mark Farner hasn't been touring? I would imagine it's
because he's a born again christian. Anyway, thanks for the
responses and I hope to hear from y'all soon.

Later,
Mike

... Well actually that needs to be updated. Mark tours constantly with his band N'rG and has for years. And he hasn't done Christian rock in many many years....
