Mark Stone - Update Letter & Photos January 2013

  "Ed, wow blast from the past, I saw your website and about cried, brings back some ole times, I want to get some pictures to you, when black sunrise broke up (I joined the Navy) I was given our photo album,  its full of pictures and I think some JAAMES DEAN flyers or some stuff I will scan it and get it to you if you would like, thanks for the walk down memory lane, I retired from the navy in 2010, about thirty years, I live in Tenn, just north of Memphis, I think Dave Simms lives out here some place, I am gonna try and look him up. I still play guitar, was in a few bands while I was in the navy, but with work and kids, it takes a backseat, but I still play, more traditional blues than anything, kinda going down the Albert King, Ronnie Earl thing..anyway, I have started a dialog, I hope to hear from you all, take care my old friends" Mark Stone

 Update Letter

 January 2013

Here's a great letter I received from a great friend and ex - Black Sunrise guitarist Mark Stone. It's absolutely fantastic to hear from friends I haven't spoken to in years. I'm still crossing my fingers on getting Mark's photos posted on this site. I'm also trying to get him to send in some of his music he has done since The Black Sunrise days.

This photo made me wonder if Mark's kids know what a huge star he is.

 33 year Reunion at

 Rizzi's Pizza Cafe 

Arlington, TN

August 2013

Here is a couple of great photos of Mark & Dave getting togther recently. 33 years later.  I was telling David Carey this fairly recently.  Some friends you see, no matter how long later it feels like no time has passed between you. Thanks Mark and Dave for sharing these great photos.

I remember this T shirt. It was givin out to the roadies. I proudly wore one for awhile but sadly had to give it back because I moved and couldn't get to alot of shows.  I'm crossing my fingers that Mark Stone sends in some scans of some Black Sunrise photos. 

Here is a great email I received from Mark Stone back in January of this year.

I haven't asked yet but I sure hope Mark has some audio or video of his music since the Black Sunrise days.  I would love to hear it.
