Anybody ever see Mr. Baker? I'd like to meet him eventually, as I really enjoyed his book and he seems like a good guy to talk to. It'd be great to do a trek.

He's a pretty average guy, just like anybody else. I havn't seen him in years, but I understand from people who have that he's busy with things that involve making a living ,raising children , maintaining a family and paying bills.

Jamming with Mr. Clapton would be nice. I'd prefer jamming with U2.
I had thought of writing Mr. Baker, but there is not even a PO Box that I can find. Maybe I'll run into him at an event somewhere...

Haven't seen Mark in about 4 years,but unless something has changed he's teaching school up around Columbia,Tennessee. He'll be at Mansker's Station in May for sure.
We shared a motel room once when the CLA was still in Cincinatti....heck of a good feller to talk with :winking:.

Heck, I'm in Arizona! I too am a teacher and have thought of heading to Tennessee. I am planning to go to a couple of rondies in the summer. It'd be nice to meet him then.

If you live in Nashville long enough you stand a good chance of doing both! I jammed with Clapton in a downtown club 20 years back and have camped with Baker on several occasions.
Both are as average as possible under the circumstances.
Don't ever get caught riding with Baker and both of the House boys for any distance! They pick at each other.
Want to get to know Baker? Enroll in his high school class. The questions you raise may not be interesting or relevant to his class and he may not be able to teach you those type of things in school either. Something about bringing a gun and a scalping knife to class would make the administrators turn up an eyebrow.

I've met him a couple of times. Once at Martin's station and the other time at Fort Dobbs in NC. Nice guy and very free with his knowledge.

I met him at Mansker's a couple times and asks his advice on a couple things and he was as unassuming and a gentleman as anyone could ask for. Real helpful fellow. Just one of the guys and wasn't putting on any airs or snobby. He sure can run. He won the foot race even against younger fellas.

I have never met Mr. baker, I have only read his articles. He seems a good person and a family man.
