Hey Frank! I'm listening to the "Eye of the Storm" cd right now... Good Stuff! Just wanted to let you know how much your music has meant to me over the years. I'm 45 yrs. old and just beginning to flourish as a proficient solo/lead guitarist after 30+ years of playing. My influences range from Robin Trower, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen and Edward Van Halen, to you my dear sir... Your music stands alone. You are in all honesty the best of the lot! !!! Keep playing strong. Tetra... zzzzzzzzz (formerly DWD58)

not that I regret it, but what I wouldn't give to have those brain cells back from some of the great shows back when :)remember the giant dragonfly on the big screen! I love the goosebumps I still get every time I slide in some M.H.

Frank is one of the most under-rated players of all time....People WAKE-UP!

Frank has been a huge influence in my playing style. Someday I'll get to be half as good! When are you playing Detroit???

I got into Mahogany Rush back in 1978 with the release of the live album. I have all the albums up to Juggernaut on vinyl and have just got Eye of the Storm (not generally available in the UK). This cd blew me away! Some of the best playing that I have ever heard and everything that I want in a cd! I look forward to new releases!

Excellent. Thanks for the music. Saw you at Port Vale (England) 1981. I was very lucky to see a great show. Cheers

This Album has the true influence and sound of the guiding Light from above, having been a concert sound engineer for over 26 years, and having toured the world and been there -- done that, just wanted to say -- if you go on a full tour of the U.S. - World, well Frank -- I'm your guy that believes in you and your music, and can mix your music as you would want it to sound-right. May God bless your life and family as your music has to all of us. James

Its pretty tough figurin' out my fav' Marino album! All was not a choice in the menu! I am one of the first Marino fans! First saw him live in the 70s in Chicago at was called the Rock and Roll Marathon with Marino, April Wine, Mothers Finest and others. Obviously noone could touch Frank! Always wondered what happened to Frank after that though. Good thing I found this website. Got a question....Why is Juggernaut and Whats next now an Import????? It was not before, I still have the vinyl's. Guess I'll have to spend the big bucks to get the CD's. Frank is worth it of course but it just seems odd. Can't wait to get Eye spinnin', should be delivered soon. Best wishes to ya Frank! Your fan always! Chas

I have followed Frank ever since I first heard of him in the 70's... Fantastic guitarist that plays from the heart and soul... I have never heard him "sell out" and compromise his music... If it isn't done with feeling, it just isn't done at all !!! I met Frank and the original band line up after a show in the 70's at the warner theatre in Washington DC and was invited back to his motel to hang out... I sat on the bed as Frank placed himself on the floor benieth me as we talked so I wouldn't have to look up at him... This action reflected his not wanting anyone to concider him a "guitar god", (as I did at that time), but a simple down home musician that isn't any different than anyone else... Just another lost soul trying to say something, be heard, and touch some lives thru his music... We spent the evening talking about drag cars and personal things instead of music along with my lifes story... He seemed more interested in my story rather than telling me of his own... After a few hrs. the room started to fill up with others that seemed to jump all over Frank with the typical questions that fans have, so I decided to leave... My wife and I also met Frank for breakfast the following morning because she wanted pictures to prove that we really did hang with the guy... I still feel bad because she called him and woke him up... He invited us over to have breakfast with him and ended up staying late for his trip to the next gig... We took pictures with him and the other band members and I still display them on my wall next to Jimi and Stevie Ray Vaughn... I had an airbrushed painting of Frank playing the guitar done from an artist in England... It is about 4ft. by 5ft. and hangs on my wall next to our bed... Frank is a very personable, heart felt man in a world of users and takers... I am still very proud of his work and would love for him to come back on a tour thru the US in the near future... I have also used his drummer, Tim Berry, in the studio for some drumming and producing because I always end up in a band that is somewhat like the mahogany rush we all love and miss so much... I must leave thanks to Jimi, Stevie Ray, and Frank Marino for touching my soul thru their guitar playing and music... Truely one of the greats in my book of six string guitar slingers............ ROCK ONWARD and UPWARDS FRANK !!! Keep it kool and burn some more sounds, it's always a RUSH !!! With love always, Jerry (silent_dark_drummer)

I saw Frank play for the first time at my high scool in 1973 and saw him play several times after seeing many guitarists over the years he will always be the best live player for charisma, sound tecnique I hope they do a tour soon I cant wait to bring my 18 old son to see a legend of the stage.
