Like many young guitarists in the 60's, Mark Altrogge was influenced by the Beatles, especially in the way that they wrote their own songs. They gave inspiration to him, to put words down on paper to music. That proved to be a life-changing interest, for Mark has written hundreds of songs, many still being sung around the world today. He also shares about his love for art and painting, a pastime that is now a major focus in his life.
