It was close to ten after seven in the evening on September 11, 2012 when the announcer at the National Quartet Convention introduced the next group to main stage, “Ladies and gentlemen…the Mark Trammell Quartet!” So it began, the live taping of what now is MTQ’s current DVD, Live in Louisville, displaying eight of the…
