I have been a long time fan of Mark Lindsay... I remember buying 16 Magazine just to look at him... He was the cats meow!! When I was offered the chance to interview the legend. I jumped at the chance.... Please enjoy my interview with him!!

Thank you so much for doing the interview. I have heard “Like Nothing That You’ve Seen,” and I am quite impressed. Is this a song that you wrote?

I co-wrote the song with Gar Francis. Here is a link for the song on CD Baby http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/marklindsay3

I understand that you were asked to play saxophone on a Doughboys album "Shakin' Our Souls" tell us about that?

Apparently Gar asked Kurt Reil from the Grip Weeds if he knew anybody who could play sax on a tune the Doughboys were working on, and I got the gig.

Are you just playing sax on the track "It's a Crying Shame"?

I played baritone, tenor, and alto sax on Cryin' Shame.

Are you also singing backup on the song?

Yes, I am

How long have you played saxophone for? Did you ever play it on any of The Paul Revere and The Raiders" tracks?

I bought my first Selmer Mark VI when I was 16, and yes, I play bariione and tenor on various Raider tunes, including Just Like Me, Hungry, and Melody For An Unknown Girl.

I loved Paul Revere and The Raiders... Tell us what got you back into the studio to record the new Mark Lindsay album?

Gar and I started writing some good tunes and it seemed a shame not to record them.

Any launch date for the single "Like Nothing That You've Seen"?

It's on iTunes now.

How many tracks will be on the new album?

We're aiming for 12-14 tracks.

On the single “Like Nothing That You’ve Seen,” is it true that you have Myke Scavone from The Doughboys, Kurt Reil of The Gripweeds and Little Steven appearing on it?

Yes they are all on it.

Describe yourself in three words?

Trying to progress

My good pal Storm Large mentioned that she had seen you walking around in Portland Oregon every once in awhile. Are you still living there?

No, I am based in Florida now but travel full time.

You were Eugene Oregon right?

I was born in Eugene but grew up in Idaho.

Tell us about forming Paul Revere and The Raiders?

It was a long process that took years, you'll have to wait for the book!

How did you enjoy being on "Where The Action Is?"

It was an incredible experience. I now hold the record for the most network television appearances for an American rock and roll singer.

Is it true that you lived with Terry Melcher when Dennis Wilson introduced him to Charles Manson?

Yes, Terry and I shared the Cielo Drive house.

Back to the music which song by The Raiders is your favorite.

It's hard to pick a favorite. They're kind of like pets...you just love them all equally.

I also seem to remember that you had quite a few solo albums and have done jingles for TV. Am I right?

Yes, three solo albums and many national commercials, including ones for Pontiac and Yamaha.

Are you still doing "Mark After Dark?"

No, although I learned a lot from doing the show, and I gained even more respect for radio deejays.

Do you have any Internet Addresses you would like to share with us?
