every time I listen to his music I think: somebody, everybody will know what a great songwriter this guy is, or was. I don't know that he writes any songs any more but the ones he wrote are all-timers.

He's really great. I first came across him when I heard Dan Bejar was taking part in the Szabo Songbook. Then I found an mp3 of 'By A Nose'. He's a quality songwriter. tbh releasing stuff as 'Mark' probably didn't help in the becoming-a-household-name stakes.

recent increased activity on the good horsey page on facebook had plunged me into my quarterly obsession of all things szabo. such a great guy.

Can't say I've ever heard a song with this twisted lyrical content:

Odds & ends turning up on his Bandcamp page: https://markszabo.bandcamp.com/music
(via Franklin Bruno's twitter - apparently he once covered "Eleventy")
