Marc Kisting was a dear friend we lost to a sudden illness in 1996 following a long
courageous battle with leukemia. We met him in 1983 at Walhert High School in Dubuque,
Iowa. Along with Ed Carew, we formed our first band, Bob White and the Quails.

While attending the University of Iowa, Marc formed The Hakkenkraks with Al Hennagir.
After calliing it quits in 1992, Marc continued to develop his unique style of guitar
playing and poetic lyricism.

In 1994, he met drummer Jason Williams of Davenport, Iowa. AFter a handful of live shows,
they recorded eight songs under the name Grogshow. Using only one guitar, voice and
drums, Marc told us he had found the sound he'd been looking for. The intricate yet
deceivingly simple melodies and arrangements showcase Marc's emerging talent.

Marc touched everyone he met with his humor, openness, and ability to see the best in
people. He was a beautiful person and an inspiration to us all.

We miss him and all the music he never got a chance to write.

Here are the songs. Enjoy.
