In fairness to the venues, in this case, I have to say that this happened because of a middle-man who didn't quite deliver on what was originally promised. I did have talks with someone who represented that these gigs would happen, and we fully intended to try to make them a reality.

But, when it ...

First thing:

Just a quick note to let you all know that we have a new agency (Monterey International) and the agent is quite on-the-ball about getting us some dates, and some pretty good places too.

So, any gigs you begin hearing about are real and true, especially in the time-frame of September ...

Yes, that and some other shows are on for the fall. I'll announce them all soon.

We now have a new agent, so most of the shows you'll be hearing about will probably be for real, even if I don't announce them... although I'll try to keep up with it.

As for the high-dollar tickets, I only just found ...

It's with great regret that I must announce that we will not be able to go to the Arrowrock Festival after all. The reasons are purely financial.

The promoter and everyone else involved tried many things in order to make it work, but it had all come down to us getting some other gigs at the same ...

Just a quick note to clear up the confusion:

First, there is a difference between what people commonly call a "Master" and a "Multi-track Master".

A Master is the common reference to the final "mixed-down" version of a song, usually on 1/4-inch tape (sometimes 1/2-inch). These Masters were ...

I know I've been scarce around here lately, but I actually do check in and read the new stuff once a day. I just haven't had the time to actually write and answer alot of it, including personal mail.

The reason? Well, I'm working on about a half-dozen things at once, among other goings on. And here ...

I can't write a long thing this time, mainly cuz I'm really busy cutting video stuff up, but I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to see us. We all had a great time.

Saw alot of old friends on the road... Timm Biery, Joey Nevolo and others... it was great.

We almost died in the Adirondacks ...

This info was posted in the Guestbook by Tom Lounges, who interviewed me yesterday. He should have posted it here, but he may not have known about the board. So here it is:


Attention Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Fans in the South Chicago, Northwest Indiana region....

Tune in my interview with ...

Well, we're home, and I just want to say how much we enjoyed ourselves.

We arrived on the morning of the 26th, met Dale, Jay, Ronnie and Simon. What a great bunch of guys. As a matter of fact, every single person we met was a pleasure. Steven (the promoter of some of the gigs) was also a fine ...

Well, I've been pretty caught up in alot of stuff for the last little while, so I haven't been into the mail and the questions and stuff. I still have alot to do before England, so I may get to some of it before and, if not, then after.

Meanwhile, I thought I'd bring some stuff up-to-date and clear ...
