Thank you so much, Frank, for your wonderful music. Whenever I hear one of your songs, such great memories surface....IMO, your cover of "All Along The Watch Tower" is better than the great man himself's. And I love "Dragonfly." It is a beautiful song.

I remember seeing Mahogany Rush in the Grand Ballroom of the Edgewater Hotel in the 70s. Unfortunately, the Edgewater and its competition further along Lakeshore, The Maples Inn, are no longer there but at least I have your music. No one can take that away from me!

Take care.

Long live Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush ! Im 4 years behind you (age)Frank and still listening! Excellant web page too !

Graet article in the Gazette on you today! Dec 18 2004

Greetings from the prairielands, Frank. Like so many here, I've been following you for a LONG time. Remember the show in Texas after Strange Universe came out? That was my first time to see you live. (You may recall that someone in the audience had done a recreation of the album cover for Strange Universe, and held it up when you hit the stage. That guy was sitting right beside us, heh heh.) I'm close to 50 now, but still completely into the musical styles that I've always admired, and brother, you're right in there. I have a 19 year old son that I "totally blew away" with some of your early stuff not long ago. (wink) By the way, the new album, "Real Live," gives me the chills. I've always loved your stuff, but you're actually GETTING BETTER, if that's possible. Come to play in Texas again, Frank. I want to see you LIVE again. My wife and I will be there, and now I'm sure my son will too. (grin)

God bless you bud!

"A PRAYER FOR PEACE" !!!

CHE CD SPETTACOLARE !!!!

Hi Frank,

I heard you play Vodoo Child on German national radio DEUTSCHLANDFUNK (Cologne) and I was so impressed that I immediately visited your web site.
A lot of really good stuff is not mainstream, difficult to access, including your music.

Keep plugging away, you're fantastic. Thank you for being here and for giving us with the best of yourself.

I only got to see Frank & the band one time @ Kip's South In Toledo, Ohio on Sun. June 8th 1986. Ronnie Montrose opened up. What a killer show ! I got pictures of both bands. Kip's South don't exist anymore.

Keep rockin' all the fans of Mahogany Rush & Frank Marino.

I first saw you at the La Traff in Buffalo, NY about 3 years ago. Since this I have become a avid fan. Please, Please come back to New York State. We miss you here. Merry Christmas! Elaine

Keep the music coming. Just love the new real live cd. Thats what we need today some one like frank to give the music industry a big kick in the ass. Music today needs more music rather than just noise. I hope I can see you live one day in sunny southern california. That would be so awsome. How bout trying to be on the next G3 tour with joe satriani and steve vai. That would be the best G3 in History. Could you imagine the jam at the end!! Killer killer stuff frank. How bout a live dvd that would be sweet too if you cant come to southern california. Drop any acid lately? or mushrooms? or smoke some good pot? I know i have. Keep the spirit living on!! Great voodoo child cover. Love that electric lady land version. More jimi covers would be cool. Machine gun maybe? hey on the G3 tour your last song with joe and steve could be green grass and high tides. That would be a concert to remember. Well take care and keep the music coming.

you are GOD in TEXAS. enough said and come back to SAN ANTONIO please.

Does it give you a little mahogany?

Okay, where to start... first Fm, then Vinyl and now Cd. I've been getting down with your music for 30+ years. I grew up in Montreal in the 70's and listened to your music all the time. I was fortunate to see you play in Calgary at the Alberta Jam festival in the late 70's. Your Live album (78) has to go down as one of the best live albums ever. That was one of the albums that always got our parties cranked up. There are only a handful of great bands that make you want to get crazy!!
It is very clear from reading the messages on this site that you guys have a ton of fans from Canada, the U.S, the U.K, Europe and a number of other countries worldwide. Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush have recorded and played for us all.
Where is the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" induction. Well fuck' em, your fans know who and what you are. Thank you for the tunes and the times...

There are a lot of good players out there,a few great players and some that are faster than Mr.Frank Marino but none have the diversity or range of talent that he has with the guitar.Malmsteen,Satriani,Vai.....all of these guys are great but I get the feeling that tit for tat Frank could match them but they would be hard pressed to play like he does.
He is a rare talent and we are lucky to have him in the musical field......he doesn't need the critics blessings nor does he need the R-n-R hall of fame though he does deserve the recognition but he has us...his fans and he has family but most importantly he has faith and a deep belief in God.
Keep on playin' Frank....we love ya man!!!!

Just got through listening again to RealLive, "He's Calling" is simply fantastic ! . . . Powerful stuff !

When are you gonna do another "studio" album ?
Better yet . . . When are you coming back to T E X A S ?
