Mark Farner is and was Grand Funk Railroad. Wishing him all the best.

[@Playbyplaymedia]

Mark Farner graciously delegates the lead vocal to the drummer. A class act!

[@superkunk2]

That's cause Don Brewer was the lead singer in the American band song.

[@Nazman06]

Mark is a badass

[@jasondotson]

Indeed.

[@vitorbarbosa5656]

Grand funk foreverrrrrrrr

[@jasondotson]

...And Sabbath too!

[@austinteutsch]

I've been drumming for 53 years. I cut my teeth on Don Brewer. And son, you ain't no Don Brewer. But Farner IS GFR more than Don will ever be.

[@jasondotson]

Bill Ward would kick all yer asses on the drums.....at least in his prime, he could.

[@kristyjewell4610]

Please tell me you got him singing Bad Time? I couldn't make the concert and I'm so glad to see this one! Thank you!

[@jasondotson]

No, see he played that song at a "bad time", see. Ha!

[@michelcorneau1923]

[@markisskajellafetti]

Yo Jason, by any chance is your Dad's name Tom? I went to school at Plum Grove Jr. high in the early 70's. Yeah it's kinda random to ask but just checkin. Peace

[@jasondotson]

Nope. Sorry.

[@scottroberts3011]

In your description you said that Mark is singing. Clearly it's not him.

[@jasondotson]

There's more than one singer, my friend. Come on now.

[@MOAONAABE]

the parker fly

[@jasondotson]

Yeah, not too many folks play parker guitars. Pretty, pretty cool!

[@ginobutafuocco9192]

That’s not Farner singing. Is this mistake video?

[@chrisdurante2544]

Mark and Don both sang this one. Together

[@ginobutafuocco9192]

@@chrisdurante2544 Correct. But not on that video. Did you know Farner wrote it, but Brewer asked if he could be noted as the writer. Farner allowed that, as a good guy.

[@jasondotson]

Yeah, it's a "mistake" video.
