| Mark Wallace, accomplished
guitarist/musical arranger, is the professional mastermind behind the |
| many faces of Scratch.
There is nothing he cannot put together for any size group with any type
of |
| musical taste. He
has been known to please very particular brides with the almost exact duplication |
| of a special song; a group
who must listen to the nostalgic sounds of the 30's, 40's, 50's or the
big |
| bands or provide an entire
"Buffett" evening. Need a soloist or a big 6 piece band...just ask. |
| Nothing is too complicated
to please the discriminating musical palette. |
