About

What’s in a name…

The name is Mark Dawson. I include the middle initial “M” to avoid being confused with the bass player for the Grass Roots, a well known photographer, the son of Richard Dawson the host for the original Family Feud TV show and many, many other fine individuals that share the name. Last time I looked, there were well over three hundred Mark Dawson entries out there.

Dawsophone Music (BMI) was originally created as an independent music publishing company after leaving Hoyt Axton’s Lady Jane Music as a staff songwriter.

Dawsophone Guitars & Music is the latest iteration of that company that now includes custom made guitars and ukuleles for private clients.
