Later Projects
In 1996 Roebuck and Burning Core band-mate Mike Colley formed the rap-rock quartet SubSeven. In 1998 they put out an eleven song CD entitled Wild Hallucinations From the Deep Sleep Deprivation. In 2000, after several years away from music, Roebuck joined Big Circle, an ensemble made up of fellow Charlottesville musicians Charlie Pastorfield, Rusty Speidel, Jim Ralston, Tim Anderson, and Tony Fischer. Their 2004 CD Things May Change garnered excellent reviews and was given a 4-Star Rating by the AllMusic Guide. Mark Roebuck has released two projects since the end of Big Circle: 2007's Some Half-Remembered Thing with Noonday Ruin and the 2011 acoustic project Midnight To Morning done in collaboration with Tony Fischer. Roebuck has two sisters, Sharon, an attorney and advanced practice nurse; and Robin, a chef and decorative artist. His brother Steven is a teacher and painter who has designed much of the artwork on Roebuckâs various independent releases. In 1994 Roebuck received a Masters in Social Work, and he has worked in private practice as a Psychotherapist in the Staunton, Virginia area since 1998. Since 2001 he has been married to Julie Henshaw Roebuck, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. They have one child, Holden Jerome Roebuck, born May 23, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
