   Marbles is about the best melody , groove & riff I’ve heard since 1972 to present 2014 . I’ve heard a lot of music all these years , all genres , and some things about this song really move me . When I was young this melody helped me on the assembly line at G.M. Now I’m older and I still love to hear this song every now and then . I can imagine riding a white horse through life with this . This would be a great wedding song ! You can do so much with a melody like this because it’s beautiful and powerful . A free spirited song !

   I wrote a paean in the form of a sonnet about this album:

   Imagine everything that’s positive
   About the universe, sublime beyond
   Measure, beyond every superlative,
   Expressed in music so awesome, each song
   So infinitely beautiful, you swoon.
   A boon of overflowing joy, Devotion’s
   Euphoria sends you over the moon –
   Empyrean guitar suffused with oceans
   Of bliss, McLaughlin’s tone like diamond whose
   Kaleidoscopic iridescence takes
   One to divine places and the band’s grooves
   So exquisite, the dance of God, it makes
   One thankful for such sounds sent from above
   A paragon of ineffable love.

   John when you play at UCLA please dedicate and play Marbles for our friend Buddy Miles..Buddy told that he really wanted to do another session with you before he passed away.. Ray Spitzer Long Beach Ca.
