Hi, Jack. I hope all is well with you and that you are NOT stuck in the Essex snow! I have just watched, for the second time, my DVD of Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's from last year. It struck me that his current (terrific!) music would be mightily enhanced by the Bruce bass and vocals. With EC getting together with Steve W. this year, what a treat it would be for all of us to have Beck and Bruce on stage together.......any chance?!?

Good day. Last night I listened on the radio, to the amazing concert you gave in November, with the BBC Big Band. It was exquisite. Is there any chance you might release it on CD? With thanks, Susan

Hi Jack! I'd like to suggest you a long time collaboration with Warwick Basses site, hosted by Florin Barbu. Countless people would be excited with your histories regarding the switch from Gibson EB-3 basses to Warwick ones. After all, what really matters is that your playing continues to have that psychedelia feel that made you famous. Best! Carlos Bill on bass. Carlos Bill on bass.

Jack - just a quick "thanks, mate" for many years of phenomenal music. While it's a long time since I last saw you live with Cream in New Haven Connecticut in 1967, I still listen to Wheels of Fire, and Disraeli Gears, and still smile remembering those amazing times. A few of my first bands performed Cream-esque versions of 'Spoonful' and 'Crossroads'. To this day, I still perform 'A Mother's Lament' at gigs. Be well! L.

Hi, Jack. I bought recently a live cd, a concert of BBC, with you, Graham Bond, Chris Spedding...Paris Theatre, London...You must remember of it easily I guess! The entire record is superb, as always; your bass is terrific! Spedding does his job very well too. It was recorded on 17 August, 1977. I can immagine how intense were those times musically; your solo albuns, they were all 'burning' still and your band was becoming more and more experimental. I miss those times. I hope your producing staff may have an idea of recording your appearances at the Ronnie Scott; why not, man? That's music turned into gold. Your bass playing...it carries all the weight of legend that it usually does with anyone. Best, Carlos Bill.

Still regarding the meaning 19th August, 1977 At The Paris Theatre Concert, BBC... Your liner notes in the sleeves of the cd are really indicative that that was a meaningful time for you. In fact, although probably you played better than that, prior to the concert and after the concert, I have to say that You Burned The Tables On Me, Folk Song and Smiles And Grins never sounded so beautiful. You Burned The Tables...was a bundle of amplified energy; and I could almost transport myself (in thought at least) to the beach and wildlife of Folk Song. The lyricism of such ballads of yours is, by the way, unique. I sincerely have not seen yet a musician with so much feeling inside. I guess Bob Dylan , James Taylor, Tim Hardin and Jimmy Webb come close, but they couldn't surpass you at all, because the intensity of your interpretations can't be matched at all. Congratulations Jack Bruce!! I wished I could have jammed onstage with you, both of us on bass...I'll 'research' more on your BBC concerts. Yeah, your more recent releases in your site... Carlos Bill on bass.

Hi Jack, This is not the first time I've posted in your guestbook! The last time I posted was before I went to see you perform with Robin Trower and Gary Husband at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London back in August last year. The show was absolutely breathtaking; I was very close to the stage and could almost touch your tweed jacket. Well......I'm very pleased to say that I have recently acquired tickets for your Monday night show at Ronnie Scott's (1st March 2010). To say that I am looking forward to seeing you again is an understatement. There is simply nobody around who can compete with your bass skills! I appreciate that loads of people make set list requests to you but I would love to hear you play one of the following:- 1. Traintime 2. Spoonful 3. I'm so glad Keep up the good work and (please) don't stop touring!! As long as I get a show in London from you once a year, I will be kept happy!!!! All the best and good health to you and yours. Ta, Ricky

Greetings Jack: I am a long-time fan of your music dating back to the late 60s. I have seen you in concert numerous times, most recently in NYC in 2005 I believe with the Cuicoland Express. I met you and Bernie Worrell that night and I also met you briefly after a gig on snowy night in Philadelphia on your tour with Ginger Baker in 1990 (I believe). As you were my favorite musician for so many years it was a dream come true to meet you face-to-face and have the opportunity to tell what your music has meant to me. I also met your ex-wife Janet Godfrey prior to a gig at the Bottom Line in NYC in 1977. She was quite gracious and walked my friend and I to the box office personally and had us placed on the guest list for the second show! I did not get to meet you that night but it was a thrill to have my friend take my photo with Ms. Godfrey and to see both sets of your performance that night. I saw Rick Derringer in the audience by the way, and you and the band were killer! I saw your son Malcolm perform with Leslie West and Corky Laing last week in Collingswood NJ. I was quite impressed with Malcolm's musicianship. As enjoyable as the show was, it would be great to see you perform again with Leslie and Corky. I would like to thank you for all the fabulous music through the years and wish you continued good health and success in all of your endeavors. Hope to see you perform in the states again soon.

JACK, CELBRATING MY 57TH BIRTHDAY TODAY, AND THE IFRST VIDEO I WATCHED TODAY WAS YOU SINGING "THEME FOR AN IMAGINARY WESTERN", THE PERFORMANCE THAT YOU INTRODUCED THE SONG AND DEDICATED IT TO FELIX, THAT WAS SO COOL OF YOU TO DO THAT, I FEEL LIKE FELIX WAS A FRIEND TO ME TOO, LOVED MOUNTAIN ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVED CREAM, AND AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I AM A SINGER AND PLAY HARP IN MY BAND, THE BERETTA BLUES EXPRESS, AND WE HOPE TO HAVE OUR CD DONE IN MARCH OR APRIL. IT WILL BE A TEN SONG TRIBUTE ALBUM TO 10 OF THE PAST BLUES GREATS, LIKE MUDDY, WILLIE, ELMORE, T BONE, DUANE, STEVIE RAY, AND PAUL BUTTERFIELD. PAUL AND YOU HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST INFLUENCES IN MY HARP PLAYING, YOUR VERSION OF TRAINTIME ON WHEELS OF FIRE FROM 68 WAS "AWESOME" AND I ENJOYED YOUR VERSION OF ROLLIN AND TUMBLIN FROM YOUR REUNION CONCERT WITH ERIC AND GINGER IN 2005. JACK, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AN INFLUENCE IN MY SINGING AND PLAYING, AND LIKE YOU, I PLAY AND SING FROM THE HEART AND REALLY LOVE THE BLUES. THANK YOU, JACK, CONTINUED GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES IN ALL YOU DO.

Great Show in the Albert Hall. Your writing with Mr.Brown is kind of Genius. What are you by the way. This is not a BASS Guitar you play. This is extremely Lead bass or whatever. Poor Ginger, he lost his hearing because of you an Eric. Do you really get on with Ginger now ? Any Posibillity to get the hole thing from 2005. I would love to see more from this.

Hi Jack. It will be fine if I can find your new biography, COMPOSING HIMSELF: THE AUTHORISED BIOGRAPHY, by master Harry Shapiro, as soon as it will be released in Brazil. Because you cited Harry on the liner notes of the cd BBC Live In Concert, of 1971, recorded in London's Paris Theatre, in which he told the tragic story of Graham Bond (the fine book: Graham Bond: The Mighty Shadow), I can suppose how deep and full of variety and new facts must be this book. Best, Carlos Bill, bass player, composer.

I had the pleasure a few weeks ago to see West,Bruce Jr. and Lang and to meet Malcolm.The show was fun.They sounded excellent all around.Malcolm was a total pleasure from his singing,bass playing and piano playing.You could see easily how Leslie and Corky were digging on him. Malcolm is also a totally great person.You must be very proud of him! Have I told you lately how much I enjoy Seven Moons? The last track is so beautiful,haunting.I have just done a pledge and ordered your book.Can't wait? Happy times to you.

Dear Mr Bruce, I have loved your music since the Cream days. I was in San Francisco in December 2005 and went to this bowling alley which had been turned into a music shop. I was too intimidated to browse so stuck to the Sixties section. There I found a double cd of Graham Bond Organisations two 1965 releases. I bought that because I did not have those LPs. Sir, what a revelation. I believe that John Mayall got his ideas from this band. Stormy Monday Blues, What I Say and quite a few others. I believe that if you put John's 1964 live album of December 1964 and GBO live album of that year it is no contest. GBO win hands down. I played bass in bands and had the pleasure of learning some of your bass lines. My favourite Jack Bruce composition - Theme For An Imaginary Western. So full of pathos.

Thank you, Natascha for your reply. You know the first time I heard Jack was when I heard CREAM; which was the best three-piece group ever. At the time, no one seemed to be playing bass like Jack. It was like listening to a deep-throated lead guitar. No wonder Baker had to play the way he did. He had to keep up! But that melding of blues, jazz and rock was priceless. Music that was creative, innovative and unique. And it is a shame we do not hear anything quite like it anymore. Mark A.

I remember hearing that you were going to work with Dylan once some years ago and then it all blew up. What was that all about? I would think that any collaboration between the two of you would have been extremely special. Hope you addressed it in your book. Why don't you bring your group to Bangkok someday? My home turf. You would be dangerous. Later.

Yes I just wanted to say that I've recently been listening to a lot of your music on my I Pod. As a baby boomer who bought Fresh Cream when it first was released I've stayed in touch with your music for years on and off. Looking back on it all including GBO (which I have recently been listening to for the first time ever) I have to say I reckon its a pretty damn good and interesting musical journey! Furthermore although you are a lot younger than Clint Eastwood I think the same can be said for you as is being said for him ie everything you are doing right now just gets better and better and more and more interesting! So keep up the good work! The only downside in my appreciation of your music is that I get tired of hearing re hashes of Cream numbers. The originals are best in my opinion and can never be beaten by any reworks. But I suppose you are bringing these tracks to younger sets of ears to listen to maybe for the first time ever and get their interest going in the originals! All the best to you.

Jack is the greatest ever! I love everything he has been involved with. The new book, Composing Himself is absolutely beautiful. I couldn't put it down until I finished chapter nine "Whatever Turns You On". That is the WBL album that first turned me on to Jack when I was 13 years old. That album inspired me to search out everything I could get my hands on that Jack was involved with. I'm still searching and buying anything I can find that is Jack Bruce related. I am quite devasted to hear what a terrible experience WBL was for Jack,Leslie and Corky. I am even more disappointed at the reputation this music has. "Token" and "November Song" are soo important to me. I'm also crazy about "Love Is Worth the Blues" and the live recording of "Powerhouse Sod" from "Live and Kickin'" In fact, I really like all of WBL's recorded works and wish I could have seen them live. I just had to set the book down for a moment to let it be known that Someone really enjoyed the music WBL made. Now, to chapter ten.

re : p bayley's comments. it seemed to me at the time that jeff beck was the obvious choice for guitar in the cream concept. he was , even then, the outstanding creative musician( rather than guitarist) that the trio needed and would have produced a foil for jack and ginger: that counterpoint that would have taken the trio where , as i understand, they wanted to go. jeff beck and jack bruce have re echoed each other's development thru an inventive approach to music free from genre cliche ( unless they wanted it) and capable of exquisite harmonic and melodic invention . fireworks.

Hi Jack. As someone who saw you first playing Bass with The Graham Bond Organisation at The Fender Club in Kenton Middlesex back I don't remember when. It'd be fair to say I love your playing. I am prompted to leave this message after finding on YouTube a video of you and Rory Gallacher performing Politician. Gotta say it is a joyous piece of music. I never knew that you ever played with Rory. You and he would have been an amazing core of a band. That's all I wanted to say apart from you have been an inspiration for my Bass playing. Thank you.

Mr. Bruce, After the Thursday and Friday night shows at the RAH with the Cream Reunion, I didn't think you could better your performance. I was wrong however. After listening to you and Leslie West do "Theme" together, I was absolutely blown away! This IS the best version ever and I never tire of listening to this song as well as the rest of the CD. I wish that your future will be as good as your past.www.sellersfuneralhome.com

Hello Jack, Just finished Harry Shapiro's Jack Bruce-Composing Himself - a wonderful insight into your life and what a fancinating journey. Your comments on the highs and lows of the world of music were a great read and no doubt most of us fans have spiritually traveled along with you. I admire all your musical ventures and have been fortunate to see you and the various band formations . . . withe Blues & Husband in '93, BBM '94, with Bernie in '95, The Cuicoland Express in 2001, the maginificent May 2nd Cream Reunion show and finally the two Scotland shows last year with Trower & Husband - unfortunately didn't get an opportunity to witness the great WBL. Any way I highly recommend Shapiro's book which also includes every recording and concert you've performed. I look forward to seeing you again ... KEEP WELL!

Hi Jack, Hope all is well with you, I just wanted to send you a note thanking you for all that you've done and continue to do in the world of music. I have been a bass player in various local bands here in the states for over 20 years and you were, and are, my main inspiration as a musician! I have followed your work and it is nothing short of spectacular! I've read and viewed many interviews with you over the years and in addtion to being a musical genius, you seem to be an incredible human being as well. You got me hooked on Warwick basses too, they are wonderful basses! So, hope all is well with you and once again, thanks:)

I think the following is a valid distinction. The two early '80s albums with Robin Trower were good, of course, very good, but, perhaps because there was only one song co-written, and there were no live performances, Bruce and Trower (Trower and Bruce?) felt like a collaboration--of two supremely talented musicians obviously, but, just that, a collaboration. From the very beginning, though, "Seven Moons" sounded like a band. The live album does too. I know both men have had successful solo careers for four decades, are leaders, and are engaged in personal plans and projects, but, well. it's just a thought.

Late happy birthday Mr Bruse. Always loved your music. I played bass in bands in 67-73 and they used to call me salty. Dont know why. You alway played different from others. I tried to learn from that. Melodic, half ,sometimes full lead bass playing. Thanks for all the music. JK.

I'm sure you can get one from Bernie yourself but if not I can send you one. wwwBernieWorrell.com Thanks forever for your vast talent and that fallen angel voice. Peace and Love to you and Margrit.

Jack - perhaps a more unusual entry from (you could say, distorted feedback). At a time in my life when I am looking for inspiration, your story has indeed provided just that for me. Like you, I grew up in Glasgow (Shawlands). Like you once were, I have been told that I need a new liver and am currently on the waiting list for a transplant. I know you had this done years ago and it really is an inspiration to me to see you doing so well after all this time. I am keeping a daily blog (davidkallin.wordpress.com) of my thoughts etc as I wait on the list and hope to keep it going as I go through a successful recuperation. Incidentally, it was suggested that I contact you by my brother (Ivor Kallin) who is a friend of your son Malcolm. I'm not quite sure what I hope to achieve by making you aware of my situation - other than to know there are people out there who have done so well for so long - may you continue for many years to come in good health. P.S. They don't still serve Liver & Onions in hospital, do they? Hope not, I don't like onions!

Hi Jack, I've just watched you on Jools Holland, sat at my desk at work. It's really good to see you looking so well. I doubt you'd remember, but many years ago I went Pebmarsh primary school with your girls and think of them often whenever I look back on school (it was such a tiny school then, it felt just like a big family really.) I just wanted to get in touch to say I hope you're all really well and happy living in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, so hopefully you might get to see this. All the best, Marion

Hi, For some reason I was distracted when Around The Next Dream came out. What an outstanding album. I suspect the marketing was non-existant at the time, as befell many artists, look at Miller Anderson! (who?) If you guys ever feel like writing some new material it will excel. That's three of the most gifted guys around and it really isn't dated at all. Thankyou for the re-issue.

Happy birthday, Double Doctor Bruce! I am just finishing up your biography, and have enjoyed it all the more because I can actually listen to the referenced music (such as with Lifetime, Buddy Guy, Mick Taylor) all on You Tube. Kind of like being in my college music history classes. Speaking of music history...I loved that you started off a concert by playing Bach on your cello. I'd have given a lot to have seen that, as I can see your classical impulses in everything you do, even the "hard" stuff. Any chance your daughter can take a video of you playing something from a Bach Cello Suite? Perhaps for the pledgers? Keep healthy, and again, happy happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Jack!!! Thank you for the gifts you have brought to us fans and the fact that 2005 became "The Year of Cream." Whenever I'm down I put on your music and play it extremely loud on ADS 710 speakers.........I was the guy, from the Cream message boards who under the song suggestion thread who came up with QMS cover of Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Codiene." It would be a perfect match for your voice. Who knows? Maybe I will hear you play it in Seattle when you team up with Robert Cray!! The Phanerotyme Ranger, ---rob lyda

Hello Jack. Between you and I there is an 8 year gap, which in my youth was vast. Man, you opened up my head [ and many others ] to how it should be done. Virtuoso , soloist or side man your skill as a musician is of a quality second to none. You and others of that time took music beyond jazz or avante garde and opened a door through which many have passed. Not all made it. Commerce ruins talent. Lost inside a song. Simon.

Just dropping by to wish Jack a very happy 67th birthday! I'm a life-long fan. Jack is a musical legend and yet I still feel that he is under-appreciated when compared to some of his contemporaries who are not as talented or influential as Jack. Jack is the creator of some of the most amazing, beautiful music ever made - Harmony Row, Songs for a Tailor, More Jack Than God, A Question of Time and on and on! God Bless you Jack! Bob Clayton

Dear Jack, They speak on web that you will join the Hippie Fest again. I was in one Florida gig 2008. The happ ening itself was foolish. Only Jack + band was great. Totally different from the other "bands" As You Said I liked much. Martti

Jack Bruce, I know you probably never read this stuff, but well... I've played the bass guitar for about seven years, since I was 9. But I can truly say that I hadn't realy understood the instrument before I started to fannaticaly listen to Cream. The way your lines and compositions make me feel, sometimes like a flowing river as in Tales of Brave Ulysses, Theme From an Imaginary Western, Folk Song and many more, others like a dinaussaur through a busy city street as in I'm So Glad... you helped me turn my sincere but sort of stupid (hahaha) way of playing into a bluesy thunderous roar like your live performances (I actually bought myself an EB-3 to look and feel like the grand master Bruce). I honestly thank you.

May I ask a couple of obscure discography questions? I once personally asked John Gorman to confirm that you actually played bass on Lily the Pink, and he very clearly said "No" and that actually it was Graham Nash playing bass!! ?? You co-wrote the song Sonny Boy Williamson with Paul Jones. Did you play bass on the track (which is the b-side of a Paul Jones solo single, and covered later by Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper)? Did you play on any other Manfred Mann tracks apart from the Instrumental Asylum EP and Pretty Flamingo? Thanks for your time, and especially for your playing and songs. Maximum respect and love from Mike Lake

Hello Jack, Mark here from Tamarac, Florida. Was reading the paper a few weeks ago and saw that you are coming to south Florida around August of this year in Hollywood, Florida at the Hard Rock Cafe with Rare Earth and a few other classic rockers and was wondering if Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton or Robin Trower might make a guest apperance with you. Love all of your music with Cream, BBM and with Robin Trower. Was also wondering if you and Robin Trower were going to tour the United States any time soon. Also have a problem in getting you CDS in the record stores here in South Florida. I wish there was a way you can help find your CDS. Please take care and hope to see you at the Hard Rock Cafe soon and with your new band the Cuicoland Express here in Florida and Bridgeport CT.

You don't know me and I fully understand if you think this is rediculous, but remember, never tell yoor mother she's out of tune! You have given me so much in my musical career, standing on the corner watching all the cars go by (yes, I know the words are Pete's). I have followed your music for so may years, Victoria Sage, Under the Volcano, Rope Ladder, etc. I have dreaned of giving musical voice to the great hoe you have given to so many as have ther ears to hear you. There is really no more for me to say in a guestbook. Time's right for clearout. CLEAROUT!!! Lenny

There will only be one Jack Bruce in the history of music and we are lucky that this genius happened during our generation. The music of Jack Bruce and Cream will never be replaced. The world became a better place with the music of Jack Bruce and Cream

Hi Jack, Just wanted to thank you for inspiring my just-turned 17-year-old son Jeremy to become a bass player. He has been playing cello since he was six, but you know how oppressive the classical music scene can be for young people. He heard about you and your classical to bass story, watched you on youtube, and has immersed himself in the bass for the past year and has become quite decent. He even saved up and purchased a used Warwick thumb (though not fretless)and watches your instructional video regularly. As a reward for his hard work, I'm taking him to see you at BB King's next month. He's very excited. Thank you again for helping Jeremy to realize music can be and should be fun, and not just a product of the competitive, perfectionist-driven classical music world..a world of really beautiful music but a lot of "ugly" music teachers and judges.

Jack, Let me set this up for you: I'm 12 (1969) years old, my father passed away, and I was kind of lost. Then, I heard "Sunshine of your Love" and I said to myself, "I'm not going to stop playing until I touch a peice of that!" I promised myself at that point that no matter how old I got, I would never stop playing music. And I haven't. Fast forward 41 years, and the last week of May of this year, I'm in Abbey Road, playing "Politician" with you! Forget the fact I couldn't hear a thing in my headphones-it didnt matter. You were so funny-you said you just wanted vocals in your cans, and you'll get the rest "Annually,no acoustically, otherwise I won't be able to yodel!" Needless to say, a high point in my life that will not ever be equalled. I can take that off my "bucket list". I also had the extreme pleasure of meeting your daughter Tascha and saw her perform at Rock and Roll Fantasy camp. Such a charming young women-you must be very proud of her.She was very gracious to my wife and I, and I am grateful and humbled to have met both of you. Whenever I'm feeling down in the dumps, I think of those times, and I cant help but be uplifted. Thanks for giving me the bonus package-the passion to want to play, and the opportunity to meet the great man that was part of that inspiration. God Bless you Jack Bruce, (as I wipe a tear), you have will forever be an inspiration. Many, many years after I am long gone, Jack Bruce will continue live in the hearts and souls of people who will be inspired as I was. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Yours, Bill Brooks

Jack, I've never heard a better rhythm section than you and Ginger Baker. People like to go on and on about Eric Clapton and yes he is a great guitarist, but he couldn't do half what he does for Cream if you hadn't played bass as well as you did. Good luck with all your future projects. Don't give up playing. Jim Ankrom

Although a fan of Jack's since the 60's I've had only one opportunity to hear him live. It was here in New York, on Pier 84 in the early '80 with my wife. Because she's a classically trained singer I was careful not to tell her anything about him, letting her make up her own mind. Halfway through the set she leaned over and asked "who's that playing bass?". "Jack Bruce" I said. "He's really good" she said. A little later she leaned over again and asked "who's that wonderful singer?" and again, beaming this time, I said "Jack Bruce". She was completely blown away and to this day asks me to put Jack on the stereo. He's also a constant companion on our many road trips. We just got Seven Moons Live and love it. Thank you, Jack, for filling our hearts with such good and well executed music lo these many years.

Dear Jack, I'm so looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday at BBKings. I've seen you there before and I'm sure you don't remember, but I was right in front with a big smile on my face! A few years ago you played the Beacon with Ringo - a couple from Australia asked for help to get their tickets - I got in touch with them and we had a lovely dinner together before the show. You found out they were coming to NY and you made arrangements for them for great seats and a backstage pass. They were lovely, and I'm ashamed I can't remember their names! Anyway, Tuesday will be another one of my life's highlights. Thank you Jack - see you soon. Melissa

Jack, Great show at BB King's last night. Your voice was in fine form and your playing exceptional as always and the set list could not be any better. I saw the Cream reunion at MSG and last night's performance is only second to that. I had the pleasure to meet you today and I must say that aside from being a regular guy you a true gentleman and a musical genius. Your Cream compositions are timeless and still sound fresh 40+ years later. I cannot wait to see you again at Westbury, NY in two weeks. I'm So Glad! All the Best. Stay Well!

Great to catch Jack at BB King's Club last nite. Especially cool since it's the only date on his whole Hippiefest tour month that he diverted and did an entire Jack Bruce Show with only one opening act. Jack played a full set, over 1 hour and 45 mins! He looked great, HEALTHY, and even put on a few pounds. JB loves playing NYC, especially right here on 42nd St in Times Square and it showed. Played all Cream stuff, save for "Theme". Alot of long jamming and improvising. I'm So Glad, Politician, Sunshine, W Room, Theme, We're Going Wrong, Tales, I Feel Free, Spoonful, NSU, Sleepy, Deserted...and more. Love ya.

Maestro, why aren't you totally deaf? You liked to play your EB-3 bass loud!!??!!! In your honour, I've acquired a 1965 EB-0 (ah that glorious "mudbucker"!) and even when I play it softly, its tone compresses my cranium. But I'm happy; I play it through a new Marshall combo with a "classic" valve-sound channel, so even if I can't play like you, I can try and sound like you - only not as loud.

Hey dude, i just took up the bass after giving up the guitar. Its not because i was crap, as people keep saying annoyingly, i just hated people looking at me while gigging. I wanted to say dude i'm twenty one and me and my mates bought some old records and have been listening religiously for about six months. It seems that your name comes up on a load of them so cheers for the inspiration dude. If you've got any advice for an aspiring bassist I'd be forever grateful, maybe about what equipment you like at the moment or some other gret players that i should listen to? Thanking you in advance mate, JJ

I just picked up your book, Composing Himself, and find it difficult to put down.I met you once back in 1980 or so in Milwaukee Wisconsin. My friends from work and I went to see you play at the Palms there. We just happened to run into you out on the street in front of the place late at night and you had a brief chat with us. I remember you were very pleasant and friendly. Keep making great music. I dig it all - the rock, the blues, the jazz, the avante garde,

Hello Jack, Just received and listened to your magnificent new CD Live At The Milkyway 2001 with the Cuicoland Express. Brought back fond memories of the October 2001 Glasgow Show I attended two weeks prior to this recording in Holland with the highlights being the two Heart songs and Milonga from Shadows In The Air and of course the BLASTS from the Past of the four Cream songs including my all time favorite Sunshine Of Your Love. The recording and sound quality is perfect - emphasizing your unique bass playing and your piano skills too on Milonga and what a voice. This cd is a must for all your fans. Finally a special Thanks must go to Natascha for her work on this Pledge Project, hope this is the first of many!

I believe that Jack Bruce is one of the most prominent personlities around the contemporary music history. And I`m dissapointed that today`s rock-music artists do not possess even a half of his endowments and passion towards music. Thank you Jack for your music and good luck!

Is there a likelihood that the BOTTOMLINE recordings in 1977 on WOLFGANG'S VAULTS will see the light of day on CD?

Mr Bruce, You were the first bassist i started listening to and studying when i began playing bass fifteen years ago. I'm self taught, nothing great.. just bound to the live music scene. But Anyway, Some of the runs on songs like crossroads with cream, and the rumble of those riffs and how they cut through, I still don't grasp. Here's to you, Thundergod. Thanks for the MOST EXCELLENT INSPIRATION. Nicholas Quinn

I've just received my pledge items thanks Nat and Jack. For all the people who are going to see the Tony Williams Tribute shows in New York or San Francisco early next year, you are in for a real treat - I saw the band in Japan two years ago and they were awesome!! So Jack, can you ever come to Australia for us long suffering Aussies? Maybe keep flying to or from the US one time? You would definately go down real well over here - it must be your last frontier you have never visited. Many of your band mates come here very regularly - I see Gary Husband and John McLaughlin are touring in April. I see you are on top of the wish list for the Easter East Coast Blues Festival at Byron Bay - last year included Jeff Beck, Brian Auger, Peter Green, Chris Spedding, John Mayall. Keep up the great work Jack. All the best, Grant

I've been a fan since the early days of Cream. Love your music and your style of playing bass. I'm 56 and can't work any longer due to a wicked bad back injury, so I am learning to play the bass to try and keep my mind sharp. You are my inspiration! Thanks for all the great music.

Wow, how do I sum up a life time batch of words to say to you? Bottom line: you lit the fire in my life. I heard you with Cream when I was 13 and I've never been the same. Your music has gotten me through life like no one's elses. As a CEO of a large company, I still feel like a kid again listening to Cream. I learned the guitar at 13 and began a long journey of collecting vintage guitars, basses and amps. My favorite (no surprise) - the EB3 with a 60's Marshall stack. I look at that combo in my music room and everything in this world is fine. Saw you at the MSG reunion and floated all the way back to Seattle. Can't say enough thanks for having you in my life. My best to you and your family.

40 years on, since I first heard you sing and play. Music was in my life from early on, but you inspired me to write and perform. You're still an inspiration and I'm proud to stand in your shadow. Happy Holidays, Mr.B., and God bless.

I found You and Cream just last summer and it was clear that I had found music and the band I love the most of all. As I love especially Your voice and Bass playing, I wanted to know also your music made after Cream. I have now started that adveture with Songs for a Taylor, I found very special. I enjoy that music very much. The adventure to learn about You and Your music continues and I just wish I could see you Live, too. All the best with your live, Jack Bruce. You and your music has a special place in my heart.

Jack, I just spoke to Jerry Miller of Moby Grape fame and he would absolutely love to sit in and jam on a song or maybe two at your Jazz Alley gig. There are many of us who feel that your two styles would mesh well!! Just send me an e-mail if your interested. ---rob lyda

"Those Were the Days". Just never a song like it since. Ever! Jack's lyrics ring as clear as the bells in the background - and will be eternal! Bless you, Jack Bruce!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Hogmanay - Jack, your family and friends! Already have a bottle of Oban in the fridge - just waiting to toast you! Shake things up! The Cream always rises to the top.

Jack, I saw you with Tony and John at the Palace in Albany NY. That was ... ahem ... a few years ago. Amazing show that is burned into my head. Very excited about the tribute and I hope the weather allows me to come down for the Blue Note run. Very best to you. Bill (hey, I like that "Clearout" button) How about another one for "Smiles and Grins"?
