Dear Jon,

We had a very nice talk with you together with Akiko and Axel in the hotel lobby after your great concert in Hagen/Germany last year in February. Maybe you’ll remember.

One question I forgot to ask you during our “night conversation” in the hotel lobby: Have you ever thought about performing “April”. I think that this great piece of music has deserved it not to remain in the relic box any longer. It would be fantastic to hear it in one of your future concerts. What do you think about it?

I wish you a great time but before all I wish you healthiness, bliss and satisfaction.

Take care! – See you again in Kiel and in Potsdam.

Greetings from Hamburg,
Harald

Dear Maestro,

When can we expect your return to organ grinding? Sarabande and Pictured Within are among my favourites too, but no-one, absolutely no-one can do the FlightOfTheRat-style solo like yourself (or MaliceInWonderland).

As a side-note, my mind has made the connection that both TheManInBlack and yourself pursued more “tuneful” directions since leaving DP- a collaboration, perhaps? Hammond&Stratocaster mixed with Steinway&Lakeland…..hmmmm!

Oh yes, and please come to Cyprus.

Dear Jon Lord,
I was just wondering if you could look at my band on youtube and tell me what you think. i will admit that the singing is a bit dreadful, but that is just because we havent found anyone to sing for us yet, so i have been lumbered with the job. Hopefully only temporarily. It is under “Rock Night 2008″

Mister Lord,
Just some words to say thank you very very much for all the music you give us ; especially with Ritchie, but not only!
I hope we will see you soon on stage in France…

Cheers

Stéphane

DEAR MR. LORD,

The life goes on, i know it. But unfortunately my two sons will never have my luck (i was born in 1961): to spend the school days, to discover the girls (every woman is always a “strange kind of”), to imagine the future, in few words to became a young man, just in the same time that so many masterpieces see the birth: the soundtrack of my early life.
From bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, King C.,Genesis and many others (someone were italians but they were good pupils)…Thanks, mr. Lord, for those so far and so unforgettable moments.
Kind Regards from an italian fan (who of course charge the son’s mp3 with the good music of the past)
Massimiliano

Mr. Lord,

One of the things I am glad about my life is having listened to your music while in DP. The very first R&R LP that I ever bought was Machine Head. I was fascinated then, at the age of 16 more or less, by the brilliant fusion of both rock and classical music, so to speak. I wanted to be a musician ever since. I am now a musician of sorts and I have to say that the very first inspiration and influence I received in the context of R&R music was your influence. I do thank you for that and for being a source of inspiration throughout the (musical) years.

Long live the Lord of the Hammomd.

Hi Jon,
I’m a 35 years old frenchie. I had my first DP experience when I was 16… lazy (intro from “Made in Japan”). It never went away from me. I still get chills when I hear it now.
I play the organ (too much overdrive probably…) and I have tried to learn some of your choruses (how the hell are you so fast ?), like many people I know.
You have done great things, both for rock music and for Hammond organ lovers.

A maybe good idea would be to tell a little bit more about the material and drawbar settings you were using and how to get these specials sounds. A lot of people have their ideas on that, but I have never read anything precise about that.

To finish : I have 2 kids (2 and 5 years old). When I start playing, they go : “dad, can you play Black night please ?”.
It is all because of you !!!

Sorry Susie- nice to meet you also!
I did drive from Loch Lomond and back that day- Had I known I was to have the chance to meet Jon, I would’ve driven much further than that.

For a person that is so gifted and talented, Jon Lord is so down to earth, and a true gentleman.

P.S. If you need a 2nd keyboard player for your new band – I’m your man!

God Bless
