When Jon Lord is gonna play in Brazil?
Jon; Many thanks for everything. I have your recording Sarabande on vinyl. I purchased it when it first came out and it is in perfect condition. I first saw Purple at the California Jam back in 1973. You always gave us a great show. I know you probably get alot of these types of messages but it is heartfelt. You have inspired many and given so much.
Thanks again, David Wiles Fresno California

Will Jon Lord ever tour the United States with an orchestra?
Any chance of having Jon Lord in Serbia ever? It would be such an honor.
hi jon
ive been a massive fan since i was first played dp in rock in the early 70 s by my older sister! have followed your career since and have seen you many times over the years im thinking of going to the weston park show and was wondering if it would be possible to get something signed at the show
i recently paid a lot of money for a fully signed mk 2 lp off ebay didnt study the autographs too closely till recently and realised what i had bought was a album signed twice by roger glover and not by jon lord! any chance of me getting my record completed it would mean so much to me
thanks
tommy

Hello Jon, we have an excellent Steinway Grand Concert Model D, Hamburg Made, from 1995. It sounds great in our Millenium room located at Las Hayas Resort Hotel, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia - Argentina.
I know that you have planned concerts around the world, but perhaps this could be an experience for you to play in such special place. Every year we host the Ushuaia Classical Music Festival, http://www.festivaldeushuaia.com
It will be a great honour to invite you to come either to play in the Festival, or any time around the year. February is the best month and winter is great for skiing.
Nevertheless, be glad to learn that youa have also fans at the end of the world. Congratulations for your nice music.
regards
Sergio
Hello Jon,
Just wanted to take the time to say how much your music means to me. Thank you for so many hours of pleasure. I have just rediscovered the ‘Pictured Within’ album: I had forgotten how moving an album it is. I am looking forward to hearing the Boom of the Tingling Strings.
All the best,
Mark
