"Hi everybody,

Today, Feburary 7th, is the birthday of Mark St. John. I wanted to remember him, so thanks to his sister Kathleen I have the pleasure and the honour to publish this exclusive interview with her, talking about his late brother Mark."

Deuce: Hi Kathleen, thank you again to have accepted my request. Reading some of the few past interviews I realised how Mark was really modest about his success and really into the importance of human relationship: "So fortunately in my life I had people around me who supported me and pushed me and kept me going because if I hadn't had that support I probably wouldn't be doing this. They pushed me to a point where it became a business. And that way there was some long term and short term goals involved, like the whole family type of thing." How do you recollect his efforts at those times to become a number 1?

Kathleen: "Mark was a perfectionist. He studied all types of music. Beethoven, Mozart, different cultures, ect. He practiced all the time. 24/7 He breathed, lived and probably dreamed about guitar.

Deuce: How you would like the KISS fans remember your brother Mark?

Kathleen: "As a great guitar player that loved to play for his Fans with all his heart and soul. Music was his life till the very end. He died while he was repairing a guitar for a local musician. We miss him terribly but would like to believe that he's up there rockin' with all the great musicians and having one hell of a time."
