Oooops. Just wrote my own name incorrectly ! But the message remains the same. Yes, I think it's time for Frank to come to Brazil and play his whole bunch of wonderful guitar pieces to his fans in our country.

Hello, Frank. Don't you think it's time to come to Brazil ? We are waiting for you.

Hey Frank, Just wanted to let you know that your music has inspired me to write so much. Im only thirteen and know more bands then you can imagine, but thats great cuase from waht i've read i know u started playing at age of thirteen, anyways i have some drug problems of my own but the same way you do the guitar just relaxes me and im starting to try and get into professional recording after making some demos and sellen them at the school, anyways thanks, man your music killer! Dragonfly.

Hello, Frank. Good to hear you're back in business. Hope your Live DVD will come out soon. Congratulations on your "incredible" guitar mastery.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Frank


When are you coming to Winstar casino (Oklahoma) to play?

A long time ago I was really into hardrock and in that time I heard Frank for the first time. I was deeply impressed in his way of playing his guitar.

During the years I still kept interest in music, especially guitar oriented music. But I was almost forgotten this great guitar player. Today, after app. 15 years, my memory said to look for his music again and after this time I'am still impressed of the level of Frank.

When he comes to Europe.....I will sure visit him.

Hi Frank;

I just looked over Your Site and had fond memories of Your music when I was a kid in the 70's. Guys like You made me go from Classical Harp to Electric Guitar. So I guess this is Eternal Gratitude I have for You and Your Works, Frank.

I finally got to see You in Dallas in 1992 at a Club there. Awesome!

Like You, Frank, I use a Signiture Axe, but mine is an Abstract 3DV, and You can even see it online at Ed Roman Guitars on the Abstract page abou the 3DV Axe. And I use a custom Emery Amp from Emery Sound in the Bay Area.

A Lesson in Life I learned from You, Frank, is that we were put upon this Earth to be Innovators and NOT Imitators. So I can say honestly that like You, I did my own thing and did not copy licks from Axe players way back then. I figured that every one of them busted ass to get his or her Sound, and like You, it was better to bust ass and get my own Sound.

When I saw You in 1992, I was and still am one of the few real Axe players who work in Electronica, and sometimes, Goth and Industrial. I've been a VJ and Producer in the Underground a lotta' years.

I had the first three albums of yours when I was a kid, Frank, and they inspired me a lot. I always loved some guitarists who were not mainstream like You.

These days, I run my own Axe into things like the Roger Linn "AdrenaLinn II" unit, and I own the world's smallest full tube Metal Amp by Curt Emery of Emery Sound. So I lay down loops and beatz and keys these days, besides the Axe.

I'd listen to Your work those years past, and it reminded me a lot of Saint-Saens, the great Composer. For some weird reason, I listen to Saint-Saens' Opus 154 for Harp and Orchestra and it reminds me of You and Your Great Music. Weird, I suppose.

Thank You for Inspiration, Frank. May the Creators Bless You and Keep You. You know Frank, if You ever wondered what the Holy Grail, was... look in the Mirror. Because what You have given to Humanity IS a Sacred Treasure.

Peace, Frank;

Ricky Ray

Dear Frank,

I've been such a longtime fan of yours, I just wanted to drop a line and tell you so. I'm a bass player mostly, but I can sling a few blues licks, but NOT LIKE YOU! You've always had something very special to your style. Your jazz infuzed passages and your speed!! Oh my god the speed! My guitar buddies used to listen to you back in Junior High, and I'm still amazed today. Guys like you deserve SO MUCH MORE attention than the mainstream has given. Another cat, Chris Duarte is another one that I think deserves more attention. But, I'm here to sing YOUR praises right now! Frank, God Bless You Man!! I'm at work spinning your music as we speak, and I have not, nor will I ever get tired of it! From 1978 till 2007, Frank Marino has always been at the top of my list of favorite guitarists. I hope this reaches you, and finds you well my brother. Please don't ever quit kicking out the nasty licks!! You music really moves me. Thank you for doing what you do.

Sincerely,
Andrew Wilkinson

Well done mate, after many years looking for a new great guitar player I came cross one of your cd. It was an exciting day!Go ahead!!
Best things from Italy

I first saw Frank and Mahogany Rush in '78 or '79 at the Pocono Raceway in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. It was a great show and I had already owned the first live album on cassette tape.
Then I saw Frank in August or September of 1993 in Orange County (I forget the exact town), California. I was sitting to the right of the stage facing it on Frank's left side so I had a great view of Frank's hands and the fretboard. This again was a great show, but I was totally awe-struck when the "King Bee" played "I'm a King Bee". I had already seen Stevie Ray and many other greats over the years, but that night's version of "I'm a King Bee" was the most moving guitar playing I have ever witnessed.
I'm really sorry that I didn't get to see any of the shows on the 2006 tour. Every time they were coming into a town, I was leaving the town. I hope they will do another tour fairly soon.
God Bless Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush!

I found MR in the late 70's and was highly impressed with the intricately accentuated guitar work. I've been a MR fan ever since. Keep up the great work!

I saw you open for either Ted Nugent or Aerosmith...I think...around 1978. It was quite a show. Very impressive. The whole using a tie to play the guitar. I tell people about it often when the subject comes up. Glad you are still around.

Anyone who caught Frank and MR in Waterbury CT in the early to mid 70s headlining or opening (other than the Queen show) please email me your memory!

I've been a fan and fellow guitarist since the beginnig Frank and always look for your lateset release. Keep the music flowing. Find peace in your art. Your friend and fan, Gary

Just to encourage my son on not giving up the idea of his campaign to show Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush that he and many others love his music. I'm not a rock lover myself, although I consider some rock ballads to be really beautiful (Love of My Life/Queen, All My Love/Led Zeppelin, Us & Them/Pink Floyd and, most recently, Stories Of A Hero/FM&MR). Frank, I loved the song dedicated to your girls . All rockers should follow your example. Merry X'mas to you all.

Hello rockers from the world. Here in Limeira we hear Rock And Roll a lot !!! Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush is one of our favorite bands. Sadly, we only have imported records and CD's available from him, but this is no problem for us. I have an old friend in São Paulo, who has started a campaign to bring Frank and his band to our country. Well, what else can we do but hope ........ Congrats on the website, Willy. Merry Christimas to you all. Carlos.

If you have a look at the Frankster's Locator Map, you'll see some pins indicating that brazilian fans are waiting for Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush. Come on, Frank, give us a chance.

Dear Frank,
My name is Glenn Basil II. I'm a fan of yours and have been for the last year. I have 2 of your albums. "Strange Universe" and "World Anthem". I wanted to see you live last October. But I couldn't because of lack of money. I don't have an Email, so if you want you can write a letter. my address is HC2 Box 95 Tionesta PA 16353

Gotta' go,
your fan, Glenn

PS. I've also been playing guitar for 1 year.

Hi, Frank. I've just been introduced to your music by a friend in Brazil,
who has started a campaign with the purpose of bringing you and the band to our country.
So far, all the material I listened is very good, indeed.
Hope you'll hear our calling.
Love and peace.

I saw you in el-paso Texas in 1976 or 77 who remebers those days. I think the other group was Sammy Hagar and Montrose but you blew me away. i turned my daughter on to yur music and she is now 16 and loves it. Thanks for the memories that live concert mad me an instant fan.
