Frank Marino

I went to my undergrad at Columbia College in Chicago for arts and entertainment management.

And my first job right out of college was at American Famous Talent, which is a talent agency in Chicago that represented Buddy Guy, Coco Taylor, Levon Helm, John Mayall, Frank Marino.

So a lot of the blues

guys, a lot of the blues guys, but also some other non blues guys.

From their first electric tour in 66, right through to the end of it all at the last waltz, 50th anniversary of the last waltz coming up in late November.

Frank Marino, Shane Murphy, Rob McDonald, Tom Schemmer of The Damn Truth.

his wife Lila Baum, great vocalist as well, Tim Kingsbury of Arcade Fire, Howard Billerman, Patrick Stickles of the great New Jersey punk group Titus Andronicus, and a whole lot more.

Saluting Dylan and the band.

They finally won their first game of the season last night.

Much more coming up.

Do we have a winner of the tickets to see the million-dollar bash with the 20 ace Montreal musicians? Taught by guitar legend Frank Marino.

A salute to Bob Dylan and the band.

Bill Graham hated them, and every time they were playing San Francisco, the announcer would say, now welcome Mahogany Rush.

Frank Marino.

That's how much they hated Rush.

Wow.

Well, you discover all them, you know, because your guitar teacher or whoever or other guys are hanging around with you that are, you know, obviously more advanced players.

They're like, oh, bro, you really like Tony Iommi and Jimmy Page or Randy or whatever? And it's just like, oh, yeah, or Frank Marino.

And it's just like, you got to hear some Joe Pass or you got to hear Pat Martino or George Benson or whatever.

You know, and it's just like...

This guy, Leroy, right.

He was about 10 years older than me.

And Leroy was completely in a Hendrix, Frank Marino, Robin Trower and everything like that.

And, uh, But if I wanted to learn how to play Back in Black, which was a big deal, when I could actually, when I learned the lick, and when you could play along with your favorite songs and when you can play with the record, I mean, it's truly magic.

It was an outdoor concert.

It was Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Frank Marino, Mahogany Rush, Poco.

It was a fucking great lineup.

Were you there, George? I think we all ended up there.

Which is fair.

I was going to ask, with all the local musicians you have, and I think Frank Marino is going to be one of the people you have coming in, right?

Yes, that's a treat.

It's good to see Frank up and about again after not being able to play for so many years.

I'm gonna guess.

Was that Frank Marino? [buzzer blaring]

That is incorrect.

No.

back?Yeah, back when I was a teenager, that's when the guitar influences were there, like Uli Jon Roth, and Kiss and The Ramones and Black Sabbath were very big, uh, uh, what's the word in English? Um, foundations.

And then when I started being able to play, it was more like Uli Jon Roth and Frank Marino, maybe Robin Trower.

Mm.

But I think the biggest and last guitar influence for me was probably Neil Zerrillo.
