What happens when a talented musician faces the dark side of addiction and finds his way back through the healing power of music? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty'man, sits down with Mark Elder, a seasoned musician with a 45-year career. Born in Spokane, Washington, in the early 50s, Elder began playing guitar at eleven and honed his skills under jazz guitarist John LaChapelle.
His journey took him through various musical ventures, including the band Bordersong, and collaborations with notable artists like Ann and Nancy Wilson.

This episode dives into how Elder's passion for music became a lifeline during his recovery.
He discusses the importance of making amends, recounting a pivotal moment when he apologized to his wife, marking a significant turning point in his sobriety. Elder's current projects, like his CD 'Just for Today', reflect his journey and offer hope to others battling addiction. Tune in to hear an inspiring tale of resilience, the redemptive power of music, and the enduring message that recovery is possible.
