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.

Dear Jack, thank you for the fantastic "Live at the Milkway" CD. You give some concerts in England in 2011. It would be wonderful to see you again in Bavaria sometimes. Are there for this any plans? All the best. Thomas Many dear greetings Thomas from Dachau

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"?
