Dragonfly was a tune that impressed me so much. What a groove!

Frank's musicianship inspired me to become a luthier of fine, electric guitars: www.jeffwhitehead.com

you have been my spirit guide since I first heard and experienced "MAXOOM'! introduced me to my minds eye with child of the novelty and after world anthem...you removed all doubt as to thegap that you filled when most of your contemporaries either did to much...or not enough..I knew the powers that be tried to make you conform to their ways..but like a ship headed to the new world you managed to pull it off with flying colors and staying true to yourself and knowing you had the amount of fans that knew you were the real deal ..like me ..you have allways had a following of intelligent fans ..although one july close to the 4th way down in long beach about 3 or 4 lifetimes ago i do recall your words after some guy in the seats up high kept throwing M-80s during a rendition of the world anthem and numerous skyrockets exploding point blank ...you thought we were crazy..I had nothing to do with that for I was on the floor getting shelled ..you even met my little sister and her friend julies squared in garden grove and then there was the caljam2..yes Mr .Marino you are a rock superstar right up their with Jimi and talk about dynamics ..well I could go on for days but you know.I will be at the coach house..and thank you for all you have done to keep it real in the music industry.You inspire every note I play and I am sure I am not alone ..You are the "Answer"..one of my alltime favorites ..you rock bro sincerely Scott Stewart

Frank, thank you so much for your music so far, now listening to "the Eye of the Storm" neer seen you in concert but i think you never came to Europe.
"Double Live " is your last release such a long time now.

Are there plans for a new album since you go on tour again?????

Hello Frank,
we were big fans of Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush back in the 70s.
Last week we finally received the DVD box "LIVE AT THE AGORA THEATRE" from Canada.
What an incredible performance / concert !!!
!!! Absolutely 5 stars for this DVD box !!!
An absolute must have !!!!
When is the next DVD coming ... smile ... ??????
Or even better (!) You come to Germany and give some club concerts. Would it be possible?
I think (and not just me!) All concerts would be sold out!

Many greetings from Kiel / Germany
Klaus & Angela

Frank,
I love your music now for over 40 years, sad that i never seen you in concert. But it is also a very long time since your last record that was Real Live 2004. Is there a chance of a new album?? Sure hope so.

Stay healthy.

Frank,
My older brother introduced me to your music back in '80 and I have been mesmerized by your music since. It hits home speaking volumes. The Agora DVD is incredibly beyond words. I have watched and listened to several of your interviews and really appreciate and respect many of your views, values, humility, modesty, and passion for what you do. In recent years I was diagnosed with a non curable disease that is slowly taking me. It has been a fantasy for some time to see one of your live shows which has become a bucket list item. I bought tickets for my daughter and I to travel 3 hours to your May 2020 show in Milwaukee WI, and hoping the rescheduled date of September 28 becomes reality. Keep on keeping on, wishing nothing but good things to you and your family, and thank you for providing me with so much joy, soul searching thought, and just putting me at peace and calm with your music. Hope to see you and maybe even meet you in Milwaukee. -Mark

Embarrassed to say I have only now discovered you after no many years. Loving my new found artist.

l mahogany rush you have cast your light into the lonely valley of my soul where once the empty shadows would hide Hidden in darkness Hidden in cold where gloom once reigned as the sorrow queen silken satin lacey deceit disguised herself as an angel and slipped sadness into my midnight dream And then you came along when I was so lonely And sang of your lonely seas wrapped yourself around protecting me Mahogany Rush Mahogany Rush Your gardenia winds began to blow My oceans moved by your moon began to flow And up above my coral shoals Silken clouds full of rain Wept your name into my soul OH Mahogany rush OH Mahogany Rush Oh Mahogany rush rush rush rush rush rush n TO FRANK PAUL Nelwyn Lisa Flowers & JIM Flowers

I've been a fan since the late seventies. Introduction was "Dragonfly" from the MR live album which was getting airplay in Quincy, IL. Probably '79. Imo "The Answer" has one of the best chugs of all time. Really like IV, but Strange Universe is my favorite.

Big fan , glad to hear you are still out there and jamming

I used to go to concerts all the time but in the past five years I have only gone to three. Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush will make four. When I bought my tickets there were some available close to the stage but I bought two on the aisle in the last row of the venue so we have plenty of space to play air guitar, pump our fists, and not block anyone"s view.

YOU KNOW YOU GOT CRITISIZED WITH THE JIMI THING. AND SO DID JULIAN LENNON. LOVED HIS MUSIC AS WELL. WHAT A HUGE TALENT YOU ARE, LIVE IN ONTARIO. WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU LIVE. I NEVER HAD THE PLEASURE. CHEERS DAVE

I've been with you for many years - 40+. All your albums are my favorite. I wish you could come out a little further west to perform. We would love to see you in Reno/Sparks. We have a new outdoor amphitheater but you aren't mainstream enough for that (thank God). We have smaller, more intimate venues too. Most of the classic artists play a smaller venue and leave the bigger venue to the "pop-stars" and their sheep. Anyway, I'd love to see you again. Last time was in St. Louis, MO. sometime in the late 70's. You were great them and ya still got it. I guess I could say we've grown old together..lol

Hello mr. Marino,

Thank you for Agora, I appreciate it.
I resend my approval as my former thanks (about two weeks ago) were not published on guestbook. Never mind that. Please come to Europe to redo the thing in nearby future. Kind regards from Holland

Hope to see you out here on the left coast in 2021!

Hi Frank, its been a very long time since ive seen you play live 40years to be exact 1980 I believe the Whats Next tour I saw you at a Memorial Auditorium here in Sacramento Ca I was bout 17 and then I kinda lost track of you its good to see your still at it. When all this Covid-19 BS is over can you come back to Sacramento or Northern Ca would love to see you live again. Peace Tom

Frank,
So happy to hear you will be back on the road again, it’s been to long but full respect for you and your family, they should alway come first. I have been a fan since the late 70’s. A friend of mine, who I have known for 40yrs, Dan Larson, also your friend turned me on to your music. Back then there where so many shows to see, living in San Francisco, I saw them all, but in a Strange way did not feel connected to the bands I was seeing. At the time being in my late teens early 20’s I thought that’s the way it is. The stars are stars and we our the paying customers. Then I met you on Tour in late seventies, maybe early 80’s. Me, You, Dan Larson sat around and chatted after one of your shows, first time I realized people are just people, on the whole we are all the same. Some more talented then others at certain things, but we are all just regular folks. It was eye opening for me at such a young age. Learned two things then, the talent of your craft, in my mind off the charts, but maybe the most important thing I learned back then that no one person more special then the next. I thank you for your great music, it has been the theme of my life for over 40 yrs. My reasons for going to all your shows back then was the music, but I also learned a valuable life lesson,THANK YOU. The last time I saw you was in Santa Cruz California, the show was great hanging around with you and your girls was priceless. My son how is now 20 will be at your show in San Juan Capistrano this Oct. My son is a great guitar player a real old soul when it comes to his playing, anyways we will be there, I already know the show will be great, and I would be proud to introduce him to this Frank Marino guy who I have been telling him about for his whole life. Hopefully Dan will be there to as I have not seen much of him since he moved to Colorado.
See you soon, between now then I hope you and you family stay healthy,

Thanks for everything, sorry the email turned into a novel, this maybe the longest thing I have written since high school,

Hello Frank,
I enjoy your Agora DVD a lot. It would be nice if you could tour Europe when space is unchained again, hopefully soon! Maybe it's time. Keep it up!
