Dear Mr McLaughlin, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the vast body of work that you’ve shared for all to enjoy. You’ve given me so many musical moments that have translated into pure joy to my ears, mind and heart. Peace & Love, Richard
I was introduced to your music by my dad, who liked classical music and had relatively conservative tastes in jazz. but in December of 1971 he took me to Larg’s music shop in Dundee to have me listen to Mahavishnu Orchestra’s The Inner Mounting Flame to ask if I thought it would be a suitable record to buy my older brother for Christmas. I was a little surprised as I knew it was unlike any of the music he listened to, but he had heard a review on a BBC radio jazz programme and was impressed. I know I would have come to Mahavishnu Orchestra anyway but that was where my love of your music began and I have been a fan ever since
