Not that it is less sad this way, but first I thought you were referring to Mark E. Smith (The Fall). I still hope I'll catch The Fall live one day...

I only came across it because someone had put a Waterboys torrent on Dime in memorial. Just thought some people might be interested considering the various bands/artists he'd worked with, Roxy Music being perhaps the most obvious.
Apologies for the confusion over which Mark Smith. I guess I thought that the Roxy connection might have made him better known. As I said, I already knew him from the Waterboys and hadn't even realised until yesterday that he was in Roxy too but thought that others might. Sorry.
