Mark Gormley.

Don't know if anybody has ever heard of this guy or seen his videos. He is a singer songwriter from Pensacola and he made some extremely low budget, horribly produced music videos to accompany the songs he wrote in the 70s, about 5-8 years ago.

He doesn't look the part. His videos are comically bad. But his songwriting and singing ability is both haunting and beautiful. For my money, these songs deserved a wider audience and formal recognition. Perhaps you'll disagree. Even if you don't like the guys music, you could still enjoy the schadenfreude that is his videos.

There are so many talented people out there, the competition is fierce.

I was confused....was it about birds or butterflies?

Neverfoundtheyime,

Ha! No, not quite. Just stumbled upon him after going on a Youtube quest for cringeworthy material, as I sometimes do....
