Mark The Guitar Player

 Mark is 43 years old and he comes from Canada. He lives in a small town and he likes playing the guitar in his spare time. Mark has been playing the guitar for many years. He started learning to play the guitar when he was in year two in primary school. Mark played in a band when he went to high school and his music teacher thought he could be famous one day because he played the guitar very well.

Mark's friends also thought his music was different from other guitar players. They urged him to contact music producing companies and see if any of them was interested in producing a music album for him.
Mark didn't believe he could make a career out of music but he continued to play for his family and friends.
One day a music producer came to one of the parties Mark played music at and he liked his music. He gave Mark his business card and after a short time he had his first music album. Surprisingly enough, the album was very successful and Mark made a lot of money. He gave up his career as an accountant in a bank and started giving concerts in different cities in Canada. Soon after that he moved to America and gave concerts there.

Mark's music was played on radio and TV stations in many countries all over the world. He still can't believe how successful he is.

Because everybody knows him now, Mark is not allowed to walk in the street alone. He has a group of bodyguards to protect him because some of the fans are crazy.

He can't go to the shops alone without having his bodyguards with him. They make sure he is safe at all times when he is not at home.

Mark says that his new life as a celebrity is totally different from his life when he lived in his small town in Canada.
