Here are some of Mark's insights and observations on his favorite destinations on the web:

Mark Winkler on MySpace.com -
www.myspace.com/markwinklermusiccom

I've been on MySpace.com a couple of years now.  I have 5 songs, lots of great pictures and many friends who visit and post comments, etc.  If you aren't on MySpace.com you should be!
Mark Winkler on FaceBook.com -
www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=655448479

This is the hot networking site in Hollywood.  Musicians meet each other on it, they book gigs on it, and you might even be able to find out if Aunt Tessie had peas for dinner!
Play It Cool - www.playitcoolmusical.com
This is the link for my off-Broadway show to which I wrote lyrics for all of the songs. I had many composers work with me including Phillip Swann, Jim Andron, David Benoit, Michael Cruz, Marilyn Harris, Emilio Palane, Joe Pasquale, Dan Siegel, and Larry Steelman. I call it my "Mamma Mia" show in that I used many of my existing songs.

Too Old For The Chorus - www.toooldforthechorus.com
This is the official website for the show that I wrote (along with Marie Cain and Shelly Markham), "Too Old For The Chorus" which has run in Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County is now being published by Samuel French in New York.
Naked Boys Singing! www.nakedboyssinging.com
This is the link for the hit off-Broadway show that I wrote songs for, "Naked Boys Singing!" It's been running in New York for over six years, and it is also playing in Houston and San Francisco. A zillion companies are planned within the year- very exciting!
Dan Siegel - www.dansiegelmusic.com
A good friend and a frequent writing partner, he wrote one of my faves "Another Night" with me. He's a wonderful keyboardist and composer in his own right.
Lorraine Feather - www.lorrainefeather.com
She's got a wonderfully creative site. She happens to be one of the most talented people in the universe-- buy her CDs. And yes she's a good friend who I've written many a tune with.
Marilyn Harris - www.marilynharris.com
Marilyn and I met in early 2003 and began writing together in July of 2003.  In the next 3 months we wrote six great songs together - 5 of which Marilyn recorded on her 2004 CD "Future Street".  We then wrote 4 tunes together for her 2006 CD "Round Trip", 4 tunes for my 2009 CD "Till I Get It Right", and 2 tunes for her 2011 CD "Orphans" - check 'em all out - they're terriffic!  She writes music, lyrics, sings, plays piano, arranges and produces - and boy does she SWING!  
Osamu - www.eastquest.com
Osamu and I are part of a fictional Japanese Swing band called the " Zen Zootsuit Band " that's topped the MP3 swing charts for months. He also is a wonderful guitarist, composer, producer and world synthesist, as well as a wonderful guy.
David Benoit - www.benoit.com
David and I have been friends before he recorded "Linus and Lucy". We have written a number of wonderful tunes, check out " Rainbows" on my CD "Ebony Rain" and he's an incredible keyboardist, arranger and composer. Nobody writes melodies like he does. Plus, we're writing a " Big " Broadway Musical together. More about that soon!
Jon Mayer - www.jonmayer.com
He arranged and plays piano on a lot of my "Sings Bobby Troup" CD-- and he's got some lovely CDs out on his own including "Rip Van Winkle"
Grant Geissman - www.grantgeissman.com
This Mad Magazine afficionado is one of the planets great guitarists. He can play it all! Electric, acoustic, et al. It seems that from the beginning he's played on most of my CDs and he's a chart topping artist for his own albums.
David Cat Cohen - www.catcohen.com
David is an old bud, since I did this quasi-rock Musical with him many lifetimes ago. He's a composer, keyboardist and educator with a nifty website. Check it out!
Mark Wolfram - www.markwolfram.com
Mark is a composer, music producer, a great arranger and orchestrator (check out Marilyn Harris' "Future Street", "Round Trip" and "Orphans" CDs), a trombonist, a singer, a recording engineer, a YouTube.com filmmaker (he did my "Sissies", "How Can That Make You Fat?", "Christmas Makes Me Smoochie For You" & "Countries In Love" videos), a graphic artist - and, oh yeah, he re-designed and maintains my website.  Handy guy to have around, wouldn't you say?
FreeHam Records - www.freehamrecords.com
FreeHam Records was founded in 2003 by Los Angeles-based musician and television personality Michael Konik. Unable to convince an established label to produce and distribute his group, Michael Konik & His Tasty Band, Konik decided to do it himself. Now home to an elite roster of sublime artists, FreeHam Records is dedicated to the dwindling art of soulful jazz. They're the label for my "Till I Get It Right" CD.
All About Jazz - www.allaboutjazz.com
This is a great resource site with everything a jazz love could want. Reviews, profiles and more!
AuditionTrax.com - www.auditiontrax.com
If you need to learn a piece of music quickly, email or fax your sheet music to AuditionTrax.com and Tom Griep will play it into the computer and send you an email with an mp3 of the piano tracks the same day.  I've used his service and it works great!
Jazz Vocal - www.jazzvocal.com
Great for all you jazz vocalists out there.
