mark boston a.k.a. rockette morton
from the "Love Space" liner notes:
"Rockette's career started big when he was hired by Don Van Vliet
to play bass in the revolutionary Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band.
Rockette and Beefheart guitarist Zoot Horn
Rollo parted with the band in 1974 and formed their own band named
Mallard.
They released two recordings, and toured England and Germany. When the band
broke up, Rockette began a long period of working from gig to gig.
One of these jobs was playing wit country music recording artist Leon Everette
of South Carolina. The Everette connection led Rockette to his first
visit to Aiken, South Carolina, where he co-owns and operates Bomark Studios.
In 2003 Rockette was invited to participate in a reunion of the Magic Band.
Four authentic members of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band (though
from different years) united..."
Also in 2003, Rockette made his first solo album, "Love Space" on
which Zoot Horn Rollo guests on one track.
In 2005 / 2006 Rockette Morton was featured as special guest during a couple of Big Eyed Beans From Venus concerts.
