From Guy's latest Diary entry I Iike that pic very much with the complete band sitting on the Sofa and listen to Mark on the acoustic. I would like to grab and safe that picture but I am not able to fetch it from the dia show Guy is providing. If anybody could help and/or give some guidance or even post the pic here, it would be very appreciated.

I just love how everybody seems to appear nearly sleeping or bored beyond belief on these. Like, "do you have something else Mark?".
I wonder what's the reason behind that? My only explanation is that Mark plays about 100 new songs for them for a couple of hours
I think that Guy has told about it that what happens is MK plays the song to the band and explains to the band what he thinks will fit the song better to the band, and the band, while MK is playing the songs are figuring out in his head what they can play in the song.
They take notes and then they go for it.
I know this process. I play drums, very amateur, and a friend of mine write songs and record them with his band, Prior to this, he sometimes calls me and another friend who plays guitar and does with us exactly that, he play the song to us, with some indications, and when he's playing I'm planning what to play, how and where in the song, and then right after that, we play together and record the song as a demo. He usually likes what we do and when he doesn't, he ask us to do something different, usually it doesn't take further than two takes to get the demo as he wants.
I'm sure that MK get it ok with one take as this guys are so proffesional, but probably do more takes just to have more to choose.
