It's gonna be a strange summer with knowing Frank won't be coming to enlighten us all.

Been listening to this band for over 30 years. Frank is one of my favorite players. My kids are now in their late 20's and they definitely know the music of Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush

Hi Frank, just emailed you a few pictures from a concert of Mahogany Rush back in the late 70's in Seattle! You have a great web page!

yo frank, im a guitar player and have a lot of influences like jimi, eric, jimmy, joe perry, im 46 and only jam in basements, i started playin drums in 5th grade and switched to guitar at 18. a buddy came to my house with a 70 smashed gibson sg his old man trashed when he found some beer cans and evidence of a party. he sold it to me with tears in his eyes for 40 bucks. i glued that mother back together an been jammin ever since. I cant stop jammin ever. now im into every kind of guitar -les paul,strats,bc rich bitch etc. Ive just got to tell you every time i plug in i think of you when i saw you back in the day at cal jam2 on tv. you blew me away! i am a true beliver and and a true fan forever. Andy Paolino PS. do you still have that badass cape from cal jam2? thanks man

I saw Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush open for Aerosmith in Birmingham, Alabama in 1978 and they COMPLETELY blew Aerosmith away ! I have been a huge fan since that night.

MR. Marino:
As a youngster growing up in New york I remember seeing you on the same bill with Johnny winter at the Felt Forum Madison Square Garden..............needless to say it was a night of wailing guitars this show made a lot of believers out of my friends as to your guitar prowess live thanks for years of enjoyment and for always changing your style I mean not getting into a rut ....Ilove Voodoo Chile on REAL LIVE..Jimmy Nyc

Frank is such a nice guy. Rare to find in any age for such an important artist. I first heard him in 1978 and have been a huge fan ever since. For whatever reason I have only been able to see him live one time. It was at the old Starry Night in Portland around 1985. There was only about 50 people there and my friends and I were blown away that the place was not packed for this awesome talent. To this day I still do not get why everyone is not a Frank fan. Anyway, it did not seem like he cared about the crowd size and we were able to move a table right in front of the stage and with a waitress serving us pizza and pitchers of beer, it was like he was performing for us in our own living room. What a great night, great show and a memory that we will all cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank from the bottom of my heart.
God bless you Frank.

I discovered Mahogany Rush thru a friend about 20 years ago and have recently gotten back into them. Frank is a truly amazing player!!

Hey. Thought i'd sign this, concidering i did'nt when i joined. Thanks Frank for getting back to me about useing Juggernaut for my Screenplay Das Juggernaut. I hope to see you live again someday. Brett

Frank, Thanks for being an inspiration. Hope to hear more from you soon. Great guitar work!

Hey frank......your the king of tone ...... if Jimi was hear today he would be amazed at your tonal control & the ability to create a sound of your own. Besides Jimi there is no one else that can dive bomb a guitar with such a viciuos attack...... i get chills & a soulful feeling every time i hear the Mahogany Rush Live album cranked up to 11.
Just a long time fan that has never stopped spreading the gospel on who you are & how you deserve way more recognition than you ever got ....rock on ol chap.......play on drummer. Mike Stead a.k.a Keef McHendrix.

Frank,

Go on Tour. Would love to catch you playing, and would bring a group of us if you do...

Finally back on line A couple of years ago 9/2008 my house had a gas leak and blew up . I only salvaged a few things, but one was the REAL LIVE cd that you autographed for me (To Maxzoom Johnny Best Wishes) Really glad that one blew out of the house along with a few others somehow. If you like hockey,I hope you enjoyed my BLACKHAWKS winning the CUP. Come back to the south suburbs of Chicago soon,PLEASE? I need a FRANK FIX SOON! J J Kelly's in Lansing Il was the last time I saw you.Great show. Thanks,Sincerly MAXZOOM JOHNNY

One of the best guitar player in music

i have not listen to you for years but the best show out of hundreds ive been to new years eve i think 1976 felt forum nyc you open for mountain and i was never the same saw millions of players but i never felt that great you sounded so fukin bad it was a night that made me a real guitar fan you blew mountain out the door because i never even heard of you. if someone plays hendrix i go big deal but not that night im playing 2004 live cd and its the first time and you still got it . other players last about 2 songs but this is good stuff

Just stared listenHng to your music. It is killer. I was turned on buy a friend of mine who also plays. Stevie was ridght your are one of the best guitar.
A new fan Connie Antley

I've been a guitar player for 50 years and I make them and one of my favorite's to make and play is the SG. Good to see that you're still rockin and US guitar players know who you are. You don't even have to be on the radio. Do you know where you can get copies of the California Jam recordings (weren't you there?). Are you still living in Canada?

Hi. After reading a few books about guitarists recently I came across the name Frank Marino. Well lets see whether there is any clips on You Tube? Well there was and I was impressed. I am now listening to a couple of CDs I got off Amazon. Great stuff. Ignore all that Hendrix Clone Rubbish and enjoy some great guitar playing. Frank just keep picking and for gods sake get some video out.

Best wishes, Ray
