John Dieterich

Mark Daniel Ettingoff

Early on music became an obsession for Mark soon after he heard Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit on his friend's parents' stereo system around age 10 (similar to many jazz boomers that talk about their formative experiences with The Beatles).  The mercurial guitar dripping in chorus and the pounding syncopated drums hit him instantly like an injection.  Transfixed, he scoured the local Wall-To-Wall sound for another dose of this cathartic magic.  He neglected to read the fine print on the album cover and ultimately purchased Weird Al's "Off The Deep End", which iconically contained a parody of the song and album cover.  Mark listened to the record in error for about a year suspiciously until he found Nevermind, the original 'holy grail' if you will.  This event marked his initiation into a lifetime of these sorts of dumb luck encounters.
