(laughs) Did I miss a part?
- Hey there, it's Mark Lee Shannon.
You know, artists like me want nothing more than a venue to showcase our craft.
Being able to connect to an audience through the songs we write is very special in its own right.
But being able to showcase those songs in front of a receptive and engaged audience is even better.
Studio C is a special environment.
Having played here I can attest to what an awesome experience it is.
Public media allows for it to happen.
So thank you for your support.
Now let's get back to Studio C Sessions, and here's hoping that you continue to support the Summit FM and PBS Western Reserve.
