Joined today to keep tabs. I met the love of my life almost 20 years ago in a dive bar in a podunk town. I'm sitting there having a beer and all these long hairs come walking in with music equipment. ('long hairs' is a compliment to me) I tell you what, you could have knocked me over with a feather when they played Crazy Miss Daisy. It just didn't make sense. The only music you usually heard there was, well, not yours. Well, I've always been a fan of guitar players so I dug him immediately. Timing was never there (of course I never told him either) so we became friends. Things changed in Dec. 09. Its a love for the ages. But anyway, I would do anything for him. He lost his best friend and drummer of 30 years in Jan. 2010. I was worried, but he still picks up his guitar everyday. He's one of the most humble people I have ever known and you are probably his biggest influence. A few weeks ago, he thanked my brother for turning me onto you because your music is something that bonded us way back when. He would never send you a message and doesn't know I am. I'm not so shy. I asked him if he could ask Frank Marino one question, what would it be? Without hesitation, he said, "Can I jam with you just on one song?" So, if you are ever in Indiana, let me know. Just want you to know about someone else you impacted with your music. Rock on! Susie

Still the best!!

i am 55 years old and still listen to you. i have seen you 2 times and got to meet you once. you are a true gentleman. you are by far the best guitarist i have ever seen and i have seen many.i hope you keep rockin for many more years. thank you for the great music you have given us.

A WARM HELLO TO FRANK & EVERYBODY THAT MAKES THIS WEB PAGE WORK! I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU.

Hey Frank, when are you comin' to connecticut to play for us?

My step dad recently got me into mahogany rush. I gotta say Land of 1000 nights is my favorite song by you i've heard so far. Dear Music is a good second. If you ever come to middle GA, i'd definitely come see you.

from the first time i heard child and strange , you are the reason i play guitar thankyou for all the music that is you . mhd

Blown away, is one way to say it, I saw you in Agoura Hills CA. wow you were great. I could not believe how good you and your band were, I heard you on XM radio and fell in love with your music, they were playing She's not there and Crossroads. I almost crashed my car trying press record on my XM so I could be sure to get the name of this great band!! since I turned my brother to you he also loves your music. We were didappointed you could not come down last year, so we hope to see you this year.

I am a 53 year young man. As with Frank I really enjoyed tripping.....alot!!
I have always enjoyed his music, most people do not know of him where I'm from. I still play albums with a dual cs-5000 turntable, marantz 2230 receiver, boss speakers with yamaha speaker back up. Wish I could get Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush albums.
Thank You,
Michael

why "WHAT´S NEXT"? i HAVE NEVER EVER IN MY LIFE HEARD SUCH GUITARPLAYING AS IN "SOMETHING´S COMING OUR WAY". The whole album is wonderful. But let me say this: You have the future in your hand. The "Real live"-album is stunning as well. When do you visit Sweden?

Frank you are great! I've loved your music since "Strange Universe". I'm listening to the '78 Live album as I write this. Thanks for all the great music. Michael Rath

A friend of mine back in the 70's had all of Frank's albums. I was at a party and he put his music on and I was literraly blown away! I bought the live album and played it over and over. fantastic!! I've always wanted to see him play live, because I too play guitar and he was a big influence on my style of playing. Thanks Frank, hope you can get to the Cleveland, Ohio area, or Akron (where I'm from), sometime in the not to distant future

Was listening to a live version of strange dreams this morning while eating a bowl of cereal, Rice Krispies and realized this was such a major part of my life. I grew up enjoying all music and have always let all influence my style. But this song just has that hold and drive that never leaves your head. Good for you for keeping your music yours and not letting the politics in.

Peace,

I am waiting to pounce on a Frank Marino in Concert Ticket as soon as it shows up in ticket master or elseware. I cant wait to see and hear this pure Original Rock born from the soul.

hello my friend, so good to see you again... a fellow musician,

Hey Frank, we need you to tour and come visit us in New Zealand.

Fan of the band. Saw them at the Mustache, Ile Notre Dame, and other Montreal venues many countless(crying?!) moons ago. Friends at the time with Paul's brother, Rick. Hope to see the band play live again one day in MTL. So would my kids ....
best of luck

Thanks for all the great tunes. I hope to see you play live some day.

One word......."inspiring"

Got to see Frank in 1979, or 80, at the Warehouse in New Orleans. Great show, best guitar player I have ever seen. Hopefully, next tour, Frank does a show in New Orleans so I can see him again.
