Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I purchased two of your Real Live CD's, one for my brother and one for myself. Loved the CD, it was great. Please keep me informed when your new blues CD and DVD come out.

Your fan,

Victor

Frank is the most awesome player of all time, hands down! My husband and I saw him in Cleveland on our anniversary, 10/17/05, then again in Pittsburgh on 10/20-05. We live in south Florida and wish he would do a tour down here.

Thank you, Frank, for sharing your talent with us and for making our anniversary so extra special!

the most intense guartist on earth

Frank and Family ,band Happy Christmas see you in 06 hopefully.

Greetings Frank!

My best bud told me about this website, and I see he's already posted an entry in this guestbook (Tony Sexton).

I still remember my introduction to Mahogany Rush. It was the spring of 1977 and I was stationed in the US Navy at the time. Our ship (USS Forrestal) was in drydock, so some friends of mine rented a beach house in Virginia Beach while the ship was undergoing an overhaul. One weekend they had a party at the beach house. To say the least, we all got completely wasted. I sat down in an easy chair in the living room and one of the guys who was renting the place put on "IV." I still vividly remember being completely and utterly blown away! To this day, "IV" is one of my all-time favorite albums. I still listen to it (along with your other albums from the 70s and early 80s) to this day.

The first time I saw you play live was the same show Tony Sexton mentioned in his post. July 3, 1977 in Memphis. In fact, Tony and I went to the show together along with a couple of other friends, if my feeble memory serves me well. You were utterly amazing, easily outperforming Ted Nugent and Foreigner that night. I saw you three more times after that first show: February 26, 1978 in Jacksonville, Florida (you were on the bill with Nazareth and Sammy Hagar); April 14, 1979 at the Florrida World Music Festival in Orlando (on the bill with Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Brownsville Station, and Blackfoot); and then finally on March 27, 1980 in Memphis (with Humble Pie, Mothers Finest, and Angel). All four shows were incredible. You have an amazing talent. I hope to see you in the Pacific Northwest in the near future!

Incidentally, it wasn't very much longer after the last time I saw you in concert that I became a huge fan of another band with "Rush" in its name (in fact, it's the only name they have!). I've been a Rush fan now for nearly 25 years.

Keep on rockin'! Your music is definitely an integral part of the soundtrack to my life!

I´m glad to know that you`re still playing such great rock`n`roll music.
Hope to see you one day live in Germany, because I`ve never seen you live, although I`m a fan since the last seventies!

Keep on rockin`

I saw Frank in 79 at the Boston Garden, instead of going to my high school graduation party! His floor pedal work was the best their is, arranged like a clock, him running from one to the other while playing "electric reflections of war", it put chills down your spine how his guitar would emulate the sounds of vietnam!...lets not forget R2D2, what a rush!

Frank, I hope you can make it to Boston in 06, it would be great if you could team up with any of these guys, Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose, Rick Derringer, they are some of the greats who never got the full recogniction which you and they deserve!

Hope to see ya soon, rock on!

Your music is engrained in me from my teen years of the mid 70's. Thanks

Hello, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush!

Been a huge fan since California Jam II!!!!!!! Just thought I'd stop in and say, Hello!!!!!!!

Ted Noiz

A hardcore fan from the beginning. Would love to see you play the Pacific Northwest sometime (Seattle or Tacoma), it's been way too long. How about some Mahogany Rush T-shirts in a size XXL? Keep up the good work, you're an incredible guitarist!

I saw you the first time in 1977 in Memphis Tn you opened for Ted Nugent, Nugent kicked ass, but you blew him away!!! I saw you again the following year at the same venue, you were recording your live album what a great show. I wondered what ever happened to you then I stumbled across your website, great site I might add, glad to see your still rockin hopefully I will get to see you again someday I would like to take my son to see you . Thanks for the music man!!!

Hey Frank .......I loved your playing since the first time I heard it in 1973. I'm 50 years old now......and still love it. But I would love to see you use some of your old pedal's......like the Big Muff PI......can't beat that classic sound......keep jammin bro.

I saw Frank play in Birmingham, AL around 1977. Absolutely electrifying! I'll never forget it!

I`m happy to see that you`re still playing!
Would you please please come to Germany! I want to see you one time in my life playing life on stage!
Keep on rocking!

Klaus

Hello Frank.

I am a great fan off you, i hope someday you com two holland for some gigs.

Greatings Johan

Wow, just googled my last name and couldn't believe what I saw. It's been thirty years (believe it or not) since my friends and I "discovered" you. We were into you heavily back then, to the point that my mom thought I changed my first name to Frank. Must have been the Hendrix thing. We listened to nothing but Hendrix for a few years. Then we realized that we had to put it down in order to be able to get into the rest of the music that was within the universe. Wore out your albums from Maxoom to Live. Saw you guys at the Palladium in NYC back then.
Anyway, good to see your still alive and kickin. What was up with the Mike Myers references? Wonder how many heads that went over.
Rock on dude.
