Here's a vinyl rip from my collection of an out of print LP from The Nighthawks Harpist, Mark Wenner.
[A harp-blowing, multi-tattooed belter of blues, Wenner fronted Washington, D.C.'s...the Nighthawks for a bunch of years and has finally gone solo. The result is this fine, nondescript passel of a dozen odes to drinkin', carousin' and generally livin' the blues life...Wenner is a fine harp man, and...his stylish, if understated, backing band...includes the assertive guitar of Bob Margolin and the fat burbling upright bass of Jeff Sarli. Wenner's gritty, throaty vocals are perfectly suited for standard raunch like "Rollin' and Tumblin'" and "Nothin' But the Devil," and he acquits himself like a pro... ~ John Dougan, Option 27_89, All Music Guide]

Jim, Wow! That was quick! Thank you so much.
Mark/VanFan
Jim, listening to the Wenner "Nothin But..." right now....outstanding! This is a very clean vinyl rip in FLAC. Your work is appreciated! Cheers, Mark/VanFan
Yeah...hadn't heard it a long time myself...pretty dang sweet actually!
Jim,
Here is another Mark Wenner "out of print" rarity....
"Fugitive" Mark Wenner/Switchblade (rare CD FLAC rip)

enjoy!
Mark
Sweeet! Actually been looking for this for a while now.
Thanks!
I have "Runs Good: Needs Paint" (2000)if you don't have it.
Jim,
That would be great! (Runs Good Needs Paint)
Do you have the 2002 release called Mark Wenner and the BelAirs "Mama Tried" - I have a rip if you need it. I could post it on wetransfer for you. It opens up with a very WHFS sounding instrumental....that DJ Adele would have played back in the day...."If Glen Could Swing" classic!
Let me know....
Thanks!
Mark
Here's "Runs Good, Needs Pain"

Don't have "Mama Tried"
Would like that link please!
Jim,
Thanks....
Here you go!
Mark Wenner and the BelAirs "Mama Tried" in 320 (rare rip)

Tell me that the opener "If Glen Could Swing" would have been perfect for an "Adele" set of WHFS toonage!
Enjoy!
Mark
Ah, those great boogie woogie tunes that Adele and the rest of the crew used to entertain us with!
Jim,
I remember how much the DJ's at HFS loved the Joe Jackson Jumpin' Jive record....and the Widespread Depression Orchestra "Barnyard Boogie" etc. POWERHOUSE too! Those were the days....
Mark
Yes! All great stuff! Broadened my musical taste to the Nth degree!
Jim,
Do you have The Nighthawks 1980 album on MERCURY records? The one with "Pretty Girls Cadillacs" and "Back To the City" ? If so, could I request a vinyl rip in lossless FLAC format? Thanks in advance! Yes, HFS was the real deal!
Mark
I don't actually have it. What I do have is a cassette tape of that album recorded from WAVA back in June 16 1980. It sounds pretty dang sweet for an almost 40 year old tape! Thackery playing some pretty tasty licks on I Wouldn't Treat A Dog...
Scanned the tape, and stole some album scans off the inter webs...Enjoy!

Jim,
That is great! I have the vinyl....but needed a mobile version for my mp3 listening pleasure in the car etc. Love this album. Thank you!
Mark
You're welcome....
