I bought "Child of the Novelty" because the cover was so interesting. I'd heard of Mahogany Rush but had never heard their music. I was totally blown away by it! I was only 14 at the time, but i knew a guitar god when heard one. I avidly bought each new MR album as soon as it came out. Some of my favorite song include : "Strange Universe", "IV The Emperor", "Try for Freedom", "It's begun to Rain", (Beautiful Song!), "A New Rock and Roll", that's just a few of many more. I wish that i'd seen you in concert but it never happened. I did see you on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, the same show that Black Sabbath was on. What a show! I also dearly love Sabbath. Countless critics and their ilk have called you a rip-off of Jimi Hendrix. They are clueless! Sure, you sounded like Jimi, what's wrong with that? So does Robin Trower and so did Stevie Ray. As far as i'm concerned, all three blow Hendrix away! Sorry Jimi fans. The Gibson SG, is their a better guitar on earth. I don't think so. I have 1969 in glossy walnut. It's my true love. She is beautiful. That's about it i think. I'll check this site regularly in the future. Thanks for making my life happier by sharing your awesome and other-worldly gift. KEEP SHREDDING! ps-- You were shredding years before that term was invented!
