Frank,
I first was exposed to your music back in the 70s, when the rumours about "Hendrix' Ghost" were so popular. I never took the tale seriously but I really enjoyed the music then, as I do now. I think it is a shame that some people have pigeonholed your style and sort of put down your music by throwing around names like "Henrdix wannabe" (not only you, but some other extremely talented guitarists like Robin Trower and Adrian Gurvitz...) Just because there is a similarity in styles that doesnt demean the quality of the music.

Anyway I was listening to some of your old albums recently wanted to write to tell you how much I appreciate your contributions to music, and to music fans, not only with your guitar but also some REALLY powerful lyrics. Though I listed my favourite album as "Tales...", that is mainly because your guitar playing had become so much more mature. In terms of powerful messages though, and sheer energy in the music, TAles of the Unexpected and Juggernaut are albums that really are as relevant today as they were in the early 70s. Listening to songs like "Free" and "Juggernaut" ... especially just a day after the US presidential debates ... is a total mindfuck -- you could have written the exact same lyrics today.

OK I wont ramble on any more, but I hope this message gets to you and you receive my sincere thanks for all you have done for music lovers like me. I would LOVE to see you live, again, before I die. If you ever get to play in Japan, You can count on at least one insanely-cheering fan in the front row. (me)

Just found out you exist (sorry). Blown away by your virtuosity and sound. Love it.
It's a pitty I never hear you on Belgium networks.

Frankie baby, get your ass back on stage, ASAP

I was at one of your shows that I think may have landed on your live album, at least that's what I think the asterisk on the back of the album means, that was in Tampa,Fl. I was very young and saw you again a few years later in Orlando at the citrus bowl, one of those gargantuan festivals, LOL. I've always said you never got the credit you deserved for being a fantastic and unique player, a players player, always have been one of my favorites. I too have been a drummer but been playing guitar for several years. I wanted to say I've appreciated you and the band, was just listening to you again today, brings a smile and warm memories every time. Hope all is well with you and everyone. Would love to see you again in a small venue, I think that would be awesome to maybe open some young eyes and refresh some of the older ones. All the best to everyone.........

Frank, man I love you, please tour again, at least make it to MPLS MN!
Your fan
Jim

I cannot pick a best of as each album holds a special memory or tonal & emotional connection since I purchased my first album back in 1976. Thanks Frank for inspiring me to pick up the guitar and play, and loud ! Best wishes to you and your family. Jim Jackson Carlisle Ohio

Love your music!! My old friend and I used to listen to your music in the 80's in the Soo - I was too young to listen before then. Just wanted to say thanks! All around great great music - compilations, lyrics, voice, and of course guitar!!

I'm still waiting to hear new music from Frank.
All the best to Frank

2 thumbs up .... It's been awhile since I listened to Mahogany Rush .... Nice to hear Marino again and awesome to hear that he is a Christian .... I had a similar drug experience in coming to Christ ....

Lost track of your music after whats next getting back to it checking out newer stuff . Still love the old stuff two looking forward to anything coming our way. Thanks for the great music,.

Have been a fan since the early 70's. Favorite songs are Dragonfly, Little Sexy Annie and I think the title was "Moonwalk?"

God's blessing and salvation to you, Frank Marino!

Saw Frank at the Orpheum in Boston,late 70's.I think he was opening for Queen that night,memory is a little hazy.He absolutely shredded the place,closed with a Hendrix like version of the US national anthem,him playing and running around the stage under cover of strobe lights only.Incredible ! Queen didn't have a chance after that performance.My favorite concert.Props to thee band too,couldn't have been easy keeping up with him. The 78 live album was background for some memorable nights back then.Amazing guitarist.Good to see he didn't burn out and fade away.

glad to see you still live and kicking.peace keep on rocking . i miss lsd rock

Frank...
Your music has inspired & influenced me since I first heard Child Of The Novelty. I too was and continue to be experienced by Jimi Hendrix. I'm almost the same age as you, born 9/11/1955. Growing up in the Saint Louis area, I've seen you perform 4 or 5 times. I've played guitar/sang in several bands over the years till MS took away most of my coordination. I've played A New Rock & Roll, In My Ways, and Strange Dreams with several bands. I listen to your music often and try to turn on new friends to your music.

I really couldn't decide a favorite album because they're all amazing, but Child Of The Novelty has "Plastic Man" on it.

So nice to hear "Dragonfly" again!
