would love to hear from you, should you want to reminisce the 70s.

-and sure, I would be glad to talk with you about that amazing concert 50 years ago!
You can email me, i sent you an email too.
Jim
Hi Jim, That would be great! Unfortunately, your email came through the site, just now BTW, and I cannot reply as it did not include your email address. Could you send a note to me directly to walterkolosky@verizon.net so that I can reply to you? Thanks.
Walter, its May 14, 2022 – I just sent you an email at your verizon email….i hope it gets thru to you…! Jim
PS I somehow also ended up living right next door to John..in Laurel Canyon Calif during the best of the best of the music years…from 1975 to 1980 !!!
Anxious to hear from you,
Jim
It is May 25, 1922. The email did not come through. This is very frustrating. Please do not reply via the email link. Please start a separate email. Or if you don’t mind, post your email address and I will contact you directly. There is something wrong with the email system on this website. Thanks.
I meant 2022 😉
Bon anniversaire à celui dont la musique accompagne ma vie depuis toujours.

Happy Birthday. I hope you have many, many more.
Thanks for providing me with decades of utmost joy!
Love
Now, Here, This. And when the mind turns to disconcerting thoughts of « them », or « us », we return to Now…Here…This.
I still can’t articulate the profound effect that « The Unbeliever » had on me. I was listening to it one winter night many years ago. Walking in the snow and rather high from some « organics » listening to The Unbeliever on a walkman…Nostalgia.
Happy birthday John! You’re an inspiration and I’m looking forward to many more years of your musical genius.
Dearest John wish you Happy lovely Birthday !
Thank you so much for the Musik and the Love!
You are Wonderful !
Happy Birthday John! I haven’t seen you in a long time.I hope you come to Arizona some time in the future.Meeting and talking to you in Denver the several times we have met over the years has been one of the Greatest, most inspirational experiences of my life! You were always so nice to me. Again, Happy Birthday and I wish you many more years of success.

Happy Birthday Mr. McLaughlin, I have been listening to your music as a little boy since the 1970’s, when my brother Julio managed the Keystone Korner Jazz Club in San Francisco. I made the following videos (the images that is) for you, I hope you enjoy them. Peace and Bright Moments to you:

Happy Birthday a little late, John. You have given me so very much happiness over all these years. I put on « Birds of Fire » and I have joy. I put on « Now Here This » and I have joy. And everything in between. Thank you so very much!
Much love from a very cold Minnesota…Tim Vietor
I wanted to wish Mr. McLaughlin a Happy Birthday. I have been listening to his music for many years.
Cheers,
John McLaughlin

Missed your Birthday but good luck for the Tour 2013
Belated Happy Birthday John. Your music has meant a lot to me over the years – especially with Shakti.
BTW Friends and family still argue about where you were born in Doncaster (as I was). I was born in a one street « village » called Sunnyside, 4 miles from Donny. Then there were fields on all sides – wonderful for kids. Anyway, were you born there; we would love to know. Thanks.
Well John, in honor of your birthday I bought myself a belated gift! Yes indeed, I received my Inner Mounting Flame pen.
ACME subsequently sent me a video with you discussing the pen.
Delighted to hear that proceeds of the sale will go to Ramallah.
Kudos John and ACME!
Happy Birthday John. Thanks for the great inspiring music and performances. I would enjoy creating and playing music with you. Please check out youtube.com/user/Jambodhi and let me know if you can play guitar with Jambodhi – Namaste – Pablo from Jambodhi
Happy Birthday John, Your music has affected me deeply over the years. We all are so grateful for how your music has touched our lives. Anticipating seeing you guys when you come to Los Angeles. Love the new record, insanely deep, the inspiration never stops.
Thanks, Jon
Happy Birthday John! We need you here in Minneapolis at the Dakota soon!
All the Best,
Michel
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I´m enjoying all your stuff. I´d like to have a new acoustic record from John!!
I’ve been a fan since Extrapolation.You were way out ahead then and on the latest evidence you still are. Happy 70th John. Talking of 70….22Nov1970 Lifetime gig at the legendary Redcar Jazz Club. Ta for manfully signing my copy of Emergency whilst being battered by some typically appalling North East weather!
John, I saw you at The New Universe concert in Raleigh, NC in November 2012 at The Lincoln Center, and got your autograph on a Strat pickguard, along with others. I told you the likes of your music could likely be heard in the Throneroom of God! You seemed to like that and we had a soul-brother hug – I will never forget! Long Live John McLaughlin!
John glad you are doing so well. I have all your CD’s. Now Here This is great. Lately though I’ve been listening to Live At The Royal Festival Hall 1990 with Trilok and Kai. I really like the drum solo on Mother Tongues and the two harmonics you are playing. Great cover story in DownBeat by Bill. I’m just so glad that you have so much going on in the press,youtube.com, etc. Much better than back in the day of « Mediterranean » Concerto. Looking forward to the new studio release by Remember Shakti with L. Shankar on violin. Right? One of my favorite albums is Electric Dreams which I bought in Hamilton, Bermuda when I was 17. Thanks for letting your fans respond on this web site.
Well definately a belated birthday wish but a wish for you all the same . After many years of admiring your music and amazing skills I discovered we share the same birthday . So perhaps you may find this a present . I discovered a guitar technique , after years of trying to achieve picado like paco . Its called » The trick picado » , at least thats how you can find it on youtube . The clip shows the basic movement , i have found many ways to apply it , the five note trick is I I M I I ( helps you turn around over three notes . Any way you are exactly thirty years older than me , kind of gives me peace to know you have gone before . Peace
Happy Birthday John, I am so pleased to be discovering your brilliant guitar playing and music, you are inspiring me to keep on with my own playing and music at 63 yrs old. My mum was born in Kirk Sandall she was 89 yrs in Dec- so it’s a good place to come from!. We lived in Q. M. Cresc. back in the 1960’s and it’s where I started guitar too. Thank-you very much for your inspirational technique and music. Keith.
Happy Birthday, John. I hope you keep on making the incredible music that I am happy to say that I have been a fan of for almost 40 years. From, the original Mahavishnu Orchestra to Shakti and more… well lets just say that Ihope that your inspiration and genius are with us for many years to come. Thank you for all the great music and shows in and around NYC.
Sorry I missed this year, it has been crazy for me. You are always a deep source of pure inspiration – not only for me – One thing that is quite easy to notice is that every single one of the brilliant and amazing musicians whom have played in your many, ever evolving, bands over the decades seem to have their most prolific performances with you, it’s like you seem to encourage all of them to really take their playing to uber-trans levels of inspiration and virtuosity. It’s always amazing. Best wishes and much love.
Albeit belated– Happy Birthday to you, John… May your health never falter, and may those you care about enjoy the same. May your desire and love for music continue to fuel your creative output; I dearly hope to meet you one day.
With Love,
Belated Happy Birthday John! I’m an old fan since the early seventies and as a guitar player I can’t wait to hear your new disc. Continued health and success. God Bless!
A Very Happy (belated) Birthday John.
I send this late, since i visit for the first time. Such a great joy to see images of the music you have given us over the years. A wonderful website illustrating your truly great offerings to the Lotus Feet.
Also, id like to mention briefly, that following your info on the Fishman midi, i visited a site with info on Andras Salay. Also featured was a young guitarist Bence Bécsy from somewhere in Hungary. Im no expert but he may walk in the footsteps of a great to be great.
Cheers From Down Under
Dear John, a very happy belated birthday wish to you from me here in South Africa. I would realy like to correspond with you – so I am hoping that you will repy to my message.
Best regards,
Sean Fourie
John … I have been playing and replaying A Tribute to Jack Johnson as though I am on a desert island and it is the only recording I own …
I recall hearing it after its release, in 1971, but never caught up to it till recently.
It is truly a revelation. I cannot wait to hear the band at the Toronto Jazz Festival on June 23.
please add me to email notification of comment followups.
THANKS! Jim

Dear John,
Thank you for penetrating this thick head of mine and moving my body and soul in ways that no one ever could. As long as I am alive I will be grateful to you for opening the door to so much more than I ever would have had in your absence. Namaste.
