Mafa.

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

A new album with more hammond and a tour with a band !!

Jon, You’re definitely the Best !!!

I was remembering when I first heard your solo lines on “Hush”, and being so impressed by your work with the blues scale that I went home and tried to figure out how you got so many different things going only to find out when I was about 16 that it was an overdub! I shared that story with my students, as now I am a band director in Oregon. I realize you probably don’t remember coming to the Salem Armory in 1972, but I was there to see you perform the songs off of Machine Head . We all went home completely excited about the music, and especially myself as I found myself from that point on trying to learn all of your riffs from every album after that! When ” Rat Bat Blue” came out, I played that song over and over listening to your chops. I bought a copy of the ” Gemini Suite” that was a demo, and loved that work as well. I found a copy of ” April” from your Tetragrammaton days, and was just amazed how you incorporated a chamber idea with rock music. Your work as a musician stills stands the test of time, and many of the students I have at school still listen to and recognize your work. Thanks for the great years of musical excellence! I need to pick up a copy of your new material as well. Best wishes on your new endeavors!

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.

Sergio
