I remember seeing you in two Cream concerts in Detroit, at the Grande Ballroom. I will always treasure those times, and have enjoyed your songs and talent. Get well soon, I know there is much more music to flow through you.

Two of my dearest and fondest concert memories were seeing you play with Cream and West, Bruce and Laing in Chicago (my hometown). You really KICKED ASS! In my book, you are and will always be the best bass player of all time. I wish you a speedy and painless recovery. And when you're finally up and running, get your ass over here to Brazil and play some BRUCE music.

All the best,

James Caine

Jack --

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

I have been a fan for quite some time. I have a vivid memory of being at a high school friend's party, standing on the porch with a lot of noisy people, and finding myself drawn to ignore them and listen to the music playing in the background. "What on Earth is this?" I asked my friend. "It's phenomenal!" It was "I'm So Glad," performed live on the Goodbye album.

From that day on, I was hooked (and saddened to realize that I had missed out on ever seeing the band live). I particularly love the live Cream performances, "As You Said," and "Theme for an Imaginary Western."

I did get a chance to see you perform a number of years back at SOB's in New York City. That was a great gig.

Anyway, I hope you are back on your feet very soon and wish you many years of good health.

Sincerely, Mike Zelenty

Dear Mr. Bruce,

Sorry to hear you have been so ill, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I had the pleasure of meeting you 20-some years ago when you were recording "I've Always Wanted to Do This" at the House of Music in West Orange, NJ, and to hear you perform that amazing music several times. You might possibly remember my husband (at that time...so it goes) Julian Robertson, who assisted Stefan Galfas with the engineering. Julian wishes you the best, too.

Please take care and feel better every day--and thanks for all the great music.

Regards, Peggy Richardson

Jack, my friend, this is the first I've heard of your latest battle and I'm glad you're winning this one too! Scared the b-jeeezus out of me though, when I got the press release...

I hope we can meet up again real soon - I've got a new CD that needs your autograph for starters! But I'm really looking forward to getting together and having a good laugh like we do! Have I used my daily quota exclamation points already?

There are geeky toys we'll have to compare too - I've got my old Newton Messsage Pad set up as a web server and put the press release on it along with a link to this site - http://ricardo.is-a-geek.net:8080 . I hope laughing isn't painful at this stage!

I wish you the best, man!

Jack, you are among my top 5 fave bass players, and I am just a drummer so what do I know? You are strong and a survivor just like Phil Lesh, put on this earth to keep the creative edge and the complex art of singing and playing simultaneously while keeping the posers guessing. It is a craft far few can master. I enjoy all your recordings, seen you a number of times and hope you tour with Cobham again. Take it slow and recover completely. Do not rush it. It will be well worth the wait.

My fellow bassist friend Jack -

I was surprised today to hear of your ailment. You are a man of great constitution and of great stature. I'm positive that you'll recover nicely and come out sitting on top of the world. I'll be sending you healing vibrations from across the pond. Your music gives me inspiration. I don't have an EB3 or a Warwick Thumb, but I'll pick up my Danelectro, Fender, and Rickenbacker and finger several notes for you. I do hope you are comforatble and that you recover soon, Jack. No surrender. - John Keen

I hope you recover soon and as painlessly as possible, so you can keep on creating great music for us to listen to. I've been a fan since the days of the Cream and hope we'll be able to look back on music you haven't yet created with as much fondness in some future time. Hey, Lance recovered from the big C and won 5 Tours de France, so it's all possible.

Jack,

As a devout fan for over 35 years what can I say? The news of your illness hit me like a ton of bricks. But fortunately, September 19th will now take on even added significance for me aside from being my birthday. On that day I got an unexpected gift in the knowledge that this successful transplant has been performed and that you will be around for many years to come...and will continue to bless us all with the gift of your wonderful music.

More Jack Than God is wonderful and now, thank God, there will indeed be more Jack. Have a speedy recovery my dear friend...seems there's a trip to Cuba that needs to be made as soon as you're back on your feet.

All the best.

Larry Dyer

God bless you Jack. Your music has always moved me. From the Cream stuff where I first discovered you to all of the solo albums that followed, I HAVE THEM ALL! Although I have never had the pleasure of seeing you live (I live in hopes!) You are not only one of the great bass players but your voice is without peer. "Out Into the Fields," "Flying," "Morning Story," "Ships In the Night" and of course "Theme for an Imaginary Western" will live forever. Please get well and bring more great music and live appearances to your fans all over the world. We are all praying for you.

So sorry to hear you are so ill, but now hopefully turned the corner to recovery. Your music has been so important in my life since I was 14 and first heard you sing and play those incredible basslines. That was 36 years ago, a lifetime. Hang on in there dear, stay with us a while longer, so we can enjoy more great music together.

Dear Jack I hadn't logged on to your website for a few weeks now - and was absolutely poleaxed this evening to see first on Ceefax the news about your operation. Please bear with me here: the weird coincidence is that just today at work I was explaining proudly to a young colleague that I got to shake your hand at the City Hall in Newcastle last November and receive your autograph - and felt so excited to have met you, but also relieved that your autograph matched the 'blind' one I'd received about 5 years ago when you played with Gary Moore and Gary Husband at the Cellar Club in South Shields. On that occasion, my CD booklet from 'Cities of the Heart' was returned to me from your (closed) dressing room with your signature added, but the rumour was that the guitar tech was performing the signings!

I love your music, your writing, your voice and adore your playing - every time I listen to or think about your music I feel my soul lift up.

I pray that you recover and are able to spread your enlightened message to more generations.

You are a true inspiration

Love and thoughts

Rob

Dear Jack,

Just wanted to wish you a speedy recovery. I have enjoyed your music since the Cream days. I too was diagnosed with cancer this past April. It started in the gallbladder and spread to my liver. I have been on chemotherapy since May and am doing well. So I know, in at least some way, what you have been going through. Let me share that my faith in God has helped to see me through this ordeal. I know that I am being held in His hands. Let me encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will be secure for eternity. Once again, thank you for all the happiness you have brought to me!

Sounds funny, maybe, but I was playing my copy of Fresh Cream today and flashing back to the many times I have enjoyed "I'm So Glad" et al. Imagine my surprise to learn - today - of your hardships and imminent recovery from a transplant! I'm so glad - indeed! Speedy recovery, Jack. You are an important figure to many and know that our thoughts are with you for a healthy future.

Good luck Jack. We are pulling for you.

Dear Jack and family,

My thoughts and prayers for a full recovery. Your music has always meant so much to me. I was so priveleged to speak with you outside the keswick theatre in PA in july,2002 about your work w/"the Kipster" and w/vernon. And I'll always cherish a long conversation I had w/Kip and his daughter after ur show @BB kings in nyc a year ago , especially about " Her Boyfriend Assesses His Value..." from the "Desire.." album.& how we can't talk ---about.- Jack Bruce, but "around" Jack Bruce....Kip just kept talking and talking and I was luving it because YOU brought out our passion...His daughter told me later that that was Kip's way of thanking me....anyway, God Bless you and your family and we'll always be in the SAFEST PLACE!

Dear Mr Bruce

I'm very sorry to hear about your current health problem, and I'd like to wish you a speedy recovery. Last saw you summer before last (think it was then) at the Canterbury festival, and it must be said -- I'd go to the ends of the earth to see you play again (even Milton Keynes if I had to). Very best regards to you and your family, and serious, sincere respect! Will sign off now, lest I start ranting on about the state of the music industry at the moment. All the best Jack!

Sincerely yours

Yesterday I found out about your operation. It was such a shock that I could not respond at that time. Fortunately Baby (just loved the way you sang that phrase) you are OK. Just a note to say how much I have enjoyed you and your music. I’ve seen you every time you have preformed in Houston, Texas since 1967 (about 6 times if I remember correctly). I remember the last time I saw you, I took a friend with me who wasn’t familiar with your solo career but he remembered Cream. After the 1st minute of your 1st song he turned to me and said, “WOW” and that went on for the next 2 hours. Love your new album. You have your family around you for support, all your loyal friends praying for you and with the grace of God; you will be back as strong as ever.

Peace be with you Jack.

Dear Jack,

I have been listening to your latest record over the past few weeks and it has really got inside of me. It is an excellent companion to "Shadows" and it contains all the classic ingredients I would expect in one of your albums: The inspired poetry of Pete and of Kip; the marvellous contributions of all the assembled musicians; and above all else your own impassioned playing and singing.

I really believe it contains songs which can already, and rightly be claimed as classics alongside those many, many jewels from your past career...."So They Invented Race"; "Kelly's Blues"; "Ricin.." and "Lost In The City"... (and many others) right up there with the likes of "Jet Set Jewel"; "White Room"; "Theme For An Imaginary Western"; "November Song" and "Dark Heart" and far, far too many other songs to list here.

Whilst I have been listening to it again today, I decide to check out the website. I could not believe what I see. Whilst I am enjoying the end result of such creative music-making...it's own author is only just returning back to health after this dreadful illness....

Well thank God for that. Indeed we must - for I don't think any of us - your fans and admirers - could imagine a world without the music of Jack Bruce continuing to arrive and enrich our lives. I have been listening to your music for so long now that I really can't remember it not featuring in my musical experience.

To think you went so close to the edge is horrifying. God can wait a lot longer before claiming such talent. We need you here to keep amazing us with your passion and soul. We need...well...More Jack...Than God does (if you will forgive the pun).

So please continue to recover - get well and get strong - and then continue to do what you, and we all love best...making great music. We all know that the "Best Is Still To Come"....

And I look forward to so much more of it in the future.

Regards to you and your family,

Howard

Jack, I was surprised to hear of your cancer and happy to hear the transplant has gone well. Please focus all you efforts on recovering; music should be secondary for now. I know that attitude plays an important part of recovery, together with prayers and love. Rest assured that all your many fans are praying for your speedy recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have enjoyed your music through the years very, very much. You are a great musician, composer and singer. Please get well and continue your fantastic career.

I have never seen you perform in a concert, so you must come to Finland and play. OK? :-)

All the best!!!!

Jack,

So thrilled to hear your recovery is coming along: I can only hope that reading the messages of 'get-well-soon'ism in this on-line guest book lifts your spirits, and enables your speedy healing process.

I have been a fan since the days of 'that' band in the late sixties, and have enjoyed everything since, particularly the power trios, (WBL, BLT, BBM).

This forum is a great way for us to direct some of this positive energy back to you.

Feel it. Let it flow through you; slowly at first, building to a fever pitch.

Peace under the oaks...

Kevin

Hello Jack,

Hope you are doing better. I just heard about your illness today.

I greatly enjoy your CDs "Harmony Row" and "Songs For A Taylor"--I hope that someday they both will come out on SACD or DVD-Audio, so the world can hear your music in the best possible fidelity.

Again, best wishes for a full recovery. David Crosby has shown what you can do with a new lease on life.

Keep up your spirits and play on!

Dear Jack, I just found out about your recent surgery this morning and I had to write and wish you a healthy and much-deserved recovery. As a 45 year old musician who has been listening to your music since I was 11 I've always regarded you as one of my teachers. I play drums, bass and keyboards and studied drums with your old bandmate Ginger Baker in California in 1991 (see if he remembers!). Your bass playing, songwriting and great vocals have always simply amazed me and when I learned of your illness I just couldn't let the day go by without wishing you well. I hope you're around for a long, long time making more great music. All the very best, Michael A. Adashefski

Jack,

It has been exactly one year to the day that your music and personality helped me my family and friends experience a night that can never be duplicated nor forgotten. I am not a selfish person but when I heard you became ill I decided to become very selfish. So here are my two selfish wishes. I wish for your music to continue forever and more importantly I wish for you to have a full and complete recovery to allow me to enjoy your Company again someday in our futures.

Dear Jack, My heartfelt congratulations to you, on your successful operation, and my sincere wishes for your complete recovery! I am so glad things have turned out so well for you! Your music and work have meant so much to me over the years! I first discovered, you as did many Americans, back in 1967 with Cream. I saw Cream twice, once on March 29, 1968 at Hunter College in New York City, where the group's performance was absolutely exceptional (it's quality to me sounded like the Wheels of Fire live sides!). I saw Cream a second time in November at Madison Square Garden at your farewell concert. In 1993 or 94 I saw you again in Manhattan, when you were touring with the guitarist Blues Seresina and had a great night as well. As I began getting into jazz, I found your "Things We Like" album in mid '71 - what a scorcher - I still like this record one very much. I bought Escalator Over the Hill when it came out and don't see how Carla Bley could have chosen anyone else for the part! I also enjoyed your contributions on the first two Golden Palominos albums, and have A Queston of Time (great music - hope there's more from this session which will come out somt time), and Shadows in the Air which is just sublime! I just picked up your newly released Live in 1975 at the Manchester Free Trade Hall - this one I bought last week through the U.S. "Collectors Choice" mail order catalog. I have been too busy with the usual day to day routines of work, etc. but each time I pass by my stack of new CD's I look at it with anticipation. Just found at this site about your new album "More Jack Than God" so I'll be picking this one up shortly as well! Again, my best wishes to you, and hopes for a healthy and speedy recovery, which will allow you to be able to get back into doing what you enjoy which is composing and playing music. When you do, I for one will be listening! Sincerely, Ed Fenning New York This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Cream were the first group I thought were really good. I saw Lifetime in a small club in Belsize Park, but only by standing on the backs of a couple of chairs, glued to the wall. What a band, and what a gig. Then there was Crystal Palace, with Mick Taylor, and Carla Bley's keyboards adding to the humor of the lyrics. A year or two later, a theater in Victoria where we had to evacuate for a while due to a bomb threat. I remember the bass guitarist making sure the sound engineer was getting out, before he left the stage himself.

And so on.

But I also saw Ray Brown when he was over 70, his playing exquisite, flawless as ever. So it's great to know you're going to be around another 10 or 15 years to keep great bass playing alive and kicking. Best wishes for a very happy and healthy time.

I'm currently reviewing your album "More Jack Than God" for The Age, a Melbourne newspaper. I haven't stopped playing it.

But more importantly, I'm pleased to hear that you are recovering from what must have been a hellish ordeal. I hope your recovery is fast and positive. We need you for part three of the trilogy!!!

Perhaps you have already selected a powerful title from your recent experience.

May your talent keep sustaining you.

Best wishes

Terry Reilly 18 October, 2003

Jack,

So glad to hear you're doing well after your surgery. Please count me among the legion of fans that first heard you in the 60's, picked up the bass, and follow your tours and buy your CD's to this day. I pay tribute to you every time I pick up my bass. I will pray for your return every time I play your CD's. May the Good Lord keep you happy, healthy, and with us for years to come.

Always your friend, always your fan, Steve Raynes Matteson, IL

As a cancer patient, I know the mortality that Mr. Bruce has been facing. Hopefully, he will outlive even me, and for that "I'm So Glad" :)

I've lost Entwistle, I've lost Noel Redding -- I utterly refuse to concede Mr. J.M. Bruce to the afterlife after investing 35+ years in listening to your incredibly inspiring playing and voice. I am confident you will recover and return to being the most rounded and wonderful bassist/vocslist of the rock era. Best wishes from all of us (including my 12 year old daughter who is just learning the difference between my EB-0 and your EB-3)

Dear Jack: You have meant a great deal to me for many years.It is so wonderful that someone has donated a liver to you so that you can continue to live the full life that you live.You must be very grateful.

You are such an inspiration to me with the excellent and innovative music that you have composed,performed and recorded. The gig you played at the El Mo in Toronto in '88 is without a doubt the greatest live show I have seen. Your new album is yet again of the highest quality. I hope that your health will continue to improve and provide you with many more years of happiness and music. Best wishes from one of your keenest fans(I have quite an extensive music library devoted to you). Sincerely, John

Dear Jack, I have been a fan for many years (about 35)- had the pleasure of meeting you a couple of times after gigs, but without going into a lot of detail, I would just like to say that you have provided myself and the rest of the world with some of the best rock and blues, songwriting, singing, performing, etc. and I have always felt your solo work deserved much more attention from the public compared to so many other 'lesser' artists. You have rocked me to the bones, and at times brought me to tears with your music. Soul to soul your music travels. Being a registered nurse, I know what you went through both physically and mentally- you must be one hell of a fighter! I hope the worst is behind you now. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Best wishes always, Bob Clayton

Dear Jack: As a long-time fan (about 35 years now) I was shocked and relieved to hear the news regarding your illness and subsequent recovery. One of my most memorable moments was meeting you for the first time- you were a complete gentleman, a true class act after a gig in February 1990 at a small club on a magical snowy night in Philadelphia. That was about 18 years after the first time I saw you with West, Bruce & Laing at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Your music is the rare kind that at times rocks you to the bones and can also move one to tears. Soul to soul your music moves once it enters the ears. As a registered nurse I have some idea of the hell you went through- you gotta be tough as nails to survive what you have. I sincerely hope the worst is behind you now. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers- best wishes for continued recovery and success. Bob Clayton

I'm likely to be the millionth person to express my wishes, but here goes...

Jack, as a bass player, your work has always been an inspiration to me.

Paul McCartney originally made me to want to play bass--I cheerfully admit that when I was young I liked to pretend I was Paul. I even wanted to play bass left-handed (I'm right-handed).

Then, when I was 15, I first heard the music of Cream.

It was the first time that I really *heard* how the bass guitar could be an up-front, aggressive, and central component of music, while still fulfilling it's primary function. Certainly, I'd heard that kind of stuff before--but it wasn't until I heard Cream that I *noticed*.

The first song I learned to play on the bass was "Sunshine Of Your Love."

Your work gave me a direction of departure, which inspired me to learn, and to excel at the instrument--which is pretty damn good for someone I've never met nor spoken a word to.

The only thing that's changed through the years since first hearing your music is that other musicians have joined the ranks of those who inspire me, though they've only added to, and not replaced the influence you've had on my playing. Some, like Geddy Lee of Rush, were themselves inspired by your playing at the same age I was when I first heard your music.

Let me offer my most heartfelt wishes to you for a speedy recovery, and for many years yet to come of health and music.

That is, after all, the fate of those of us who have discovered we're musicians.

...oh, and I'm STILL looking for an EB-3. ;)

-Jonathan Lippard

Hello Jack.

I read the news yesterday and at first I was chocked but it's great to hear that you are doing all right now. I'm a bass player myself and you were the first I listened and learned directly from. You were the first were I learned that the bass is also an important instrument and I'm glad that I heard about you Jack, because without you I wouldn't being playing the bass today! So please do well and come to play again soon, I already miss you and your bass playing.

Love, Mick Pedersen Horsens Denmark.

Just read about your illness on the Felix Pappalardi web site. I'm glad your doing better now.

Dear Jack, Sorry to hear about your liver problems and wish you a speedy recovery. Time flies the older we get and our bodies age ungracefully. It seems like yesterday when "Cream" was turning the world on its ear. I still listen to my favorite Cream songs on a daily basis. Spoonful, NSU and I'm So Glad still blows my mind. The three of you traveling into the stratosphere and beyond in an aura of glory was such a gift to mankind. I'm nearing fifty and here I am sounding like a little kid. Here's hoping you're fully recovered and will continue a productive life making incredible music.

Sincerely, Harry Falik

Dear Jack:

You were the reason I learned to play the bass. I would spend hours as a young man listening and learning your rifts and subtle tones in each and every song. Unfortunately, while I could copy your sound, I could never create it on my own.

I thank you for starting me on my musical journey and also for heloping me know my own limitations. I wich you well and hope that your life will always be filled with music.

All my best wishes,

I'm back again because there's stuff I forgot to say. First, I saw you in LA in the early 80's with Clem Clemson, Billy Cobham and Davis Sancious. It was exciting and unforgettable. In the early 90's a friend and I went to see you at a club in Bayshore, Long Island. We got there early and we walked into an empty room. You were on stage singing "Deserted Cities Of The Heart". I thought to myself where's all the fans? I felt sad so when you finished the song I clapped. I couldn't believe one of my musical heroes was standing just a few feet in front of me. I went to the bar to get a beer. The bartender apologized because the beer wasn't cold yet, then he realized that WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE so he told us to get out. You guys were just rehearsing. We waited till midnight but you still didn't get on stage. Sorry Jack but we left. It's OK though, those few minutes all alone watching you rehearse was well worth it. Another thing, My brother and I have this private thing that when we play 7 card stud poker and either of us has a Jack and a Deuce for the first two up cards we have to pay 2 dollars to the other. It's in honor of you. Jack Deuce = Jack Bruce. So if a fan shows you a Jack and a Deuce it's probably me.

Nice to know that Mr. Bruce will be sticking around for a little longer. We've already lost our Dolphys, Coltranes, Aylers, Parkers, Powells, Sharrocks, LaFaros, Evanses, Monks, Cherrys, Higginses, Sun Ras, Blackwells, Davises, Williamses, Youngs, Greens, Rahsaan Roland Kirks... far, far too early... both robbed and deprived of, actually. Many blessings and best wishes to someone who still has a lot to give. You can hear it, too.

Jack, I wish you a speedy recovery from your recent surgery, I know you will be back soon playing the bass like no other and hope to see you in person again. I saw you in 2001 in San Diego with Ringo Starr. I really loved your work with Cream and think I Feel Free is one of the best rock song ever written. You have all my good wishes and hope in some small way this note will help you recover faster. Take care, Tom Allegra

I was shocked to hear about your illness but overjoyed at your tough-as-nails recovery. You're like a member of the family to me. I grew up listening to you and you've taken me through some difficult times. You've provided solace and brought me incredible joy for all these many decades. I'm glad I can look forward to having you around. Be well and be happy!

Hi Ya Jack

Shocked to hear you were ill, but relieved to hear things are going well for you now. Have been featuring a few of your albums on my little radio show down here (community radio) last week - Somethin Els, BBH, Truce, B.L.T. & that matserpiece - Out Of The Storm. I'll give my listeners the good news that you're 'Out Of The Storm'. Thanks for all the great music and memories so far. Long life and good health to you.

Best Rob

Jack, I'm sending positive & powerful energy your way for a full and happy recovery. You have been an inspirational figure and I listen to not only Cream but your solo works a lot - it's hard to believe that the heroes that you see in film clips, photos as young amazing characters have a fallible body - everything seems like yesterday when you tune into those sounds. Stay strong and may your family, friends and fans give you the strength that you need now. Cheers and thanks, Cathy Searles

Dear Jack

We are so sorry to hear about your cancer.

I`ve listening your music since 1966 and it`s been a privilege to see You on Stage and also have few discussions with You during your visits in Finland.

It was a great personal pleasure to me to see my son Pyry learning bass playing with "Sunshine". You Jack as a father must know how proud I was.

We both hope strength and all the best to You and your family! Get well soon! We want to enjoy your music in years to come. We also hope to see You in Finland. There are so many of us admiring and loving your music.

Dear Jack: I have already left two posts, but as I continue reading the incredible words of admiration, encouragement and love coming to you from around the world, I am simply blown away. It is obvious from this amaizingly moving outpouring of sympathy and encouragement that there are still many fans of music that isn't 'manufactured' but rather created in the mind, heart and soul of a musician who always stayed true to his roots and at once retained his musical integrity in a business that is sorely lacking in that commodity. I am so full of emotion at what all these beautiful people are expressing to you that I don't know what to say except after spending 35 years getting into your head and heart through your music, and meeting you on several occasions, I feel like you are family and it is obvious I am not alone. We all love you Jack; you were given a wonderful gift and despite some rough times you displayed limitless willpower to share your gift with so many all over the planet. You are an enigma, and I believe someday your music will be required material for music students at the finest performing art schools throughout the world. I have your autograph which you graciously signed after a grueling 90 minute kick-ass gig in Philly with Ginger in 1990; and I would not trade it for Beethoven's, Chopin's, Wagner's, etc. (or all of them if offered). Thank God you pulled through the worst- make sure those nurses keep that PCA pump filled! I will not ramble anymore except to say my son, a 16 year-old bass guitarist, singer, and songwriter was inspired by you at a very early age. (I'm a drummer who's raising a smart young man!) God bless and best wishes to you and your family and close friends, especially Derek who makes all of this possible and what a fine job he does for you, and us! Get well ASAP, as someone pointed out in another post: you've got an album to get out there and promote with a real tour of the states. Best wishes to Bernie as well- your recent crisis must be very hard on him as well. I cherish the photo he let my son take of me with him in front of BB King's in NYC- Thanks Bernie, you are also a real class act! Thank you for allowing me to ramble on, but I had to get it out Jack! Heal man, heal!!!

Best wishes Jack for a speedy recovery. I still say you're the best singer in the history of rock, miles above Robert Plant. It's too bad Cream didn't last very long. You'd get far more airplay on my favourite radio program, Psychedelic Sunday, on Q107 in Toronto, if you had.

Hi Bruce Family

I was stunned when I read of Jack's op - with that on his mind just how can he have been so very accommodating and informative when Glenn and I visited him days before to put together the interview piece that we had arranged to do ?? What a guy !! I have never met anyone so focussed and I'm sure this will be reflected in the article (which we shall run in our next issue) Jack - you are an example of ability and determination, long may you thump those bass strings ! This family wishes you every good fortune to make up for these problems

Jack, just sending you best wishes for your recovery. I've seen you play many times over the years in various projects, but have always had a special affection for your first post-Cream solo albums. In fact, my book "Seventies Rock: The Decade of Creative Chaos" has just been released and contains a rather glowing section about those albums. I'd be happy to send you a copy if you'd enjoy seeing it! Warm regards, Frank Moriarty

Jack laddie, Here's hoping that the Gods will revive you thoroughly. With so many junk bass-players around, the world needs you and that red Gibson to show them all that bass-playing is still in good hands. (My own head hasn't been the same since Lifetime). Be well, the Scot in you will not be put down that easily!

I was just yesterday watching one 3 hours collection video from your bands and interwiws 1970 - 90. This "When I First Time Met The Blues" 1983 with Tony Sancious is one of the fantastic ones.

Do not give up - Our Dear Champion

We will meet one day in the consert again... as we did at B.B.King 18.-19. October ,2003

Dear Jack,

I'm glad to read of your recovery. I hope you continue to gain strength and feel well. I've always loved your music since the first time I heard Sunshine Of Your Love. I particularly love Monkjack and Cities Of the Heart. As an amateur bassist/vocalist/pianist, your music continues to inspire me. Hang in there; we hope to see you and the band again in Dixie sometime soon. - Jonathan Steele

Jack,

I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better after the Liver transplant. I've been a big fan of yours since I started playing drums in bands back in 1967. I must have seen at least 10-15 concerts that you've done solo & with Leslie West since the early 70s. Your music has always provided me with lots of inspirataion & I'm looking forward to hearing more new tunes from you when you're fully recovered!

Best wishes,

Joe Birish

Dear Mr. Bruce

I so sorry to hear about your illness, but happy to hear that you are recovering. I have been a fan of yours since I heard "Sleepy Time Time" - what a tune! I hope you will put thatone on your future setlists. Your new album is - as always - on the top. Get well - get up - and get hold of that bass.

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Jack- I am very happy to hear that you are recovering nicely from your surgery, although still in shock at hearing the news that you were ill.

My band Classic Ruins played 'SWLABR' in your honor when we heard the news that your transplant was (ultimately) successful on Thurs.night (Oct.16)

Get well very soon.

Jack, some 30 years ago one of your songs saved my life. At the time I had been a young heroin addict without hope, but listening to "November Song" gave me the strength to give up the drugs right there and then for good. I hope you get well very soon, so that I can enjoy many more of your albums and gigs, and perhaps you might even do a new version of "November Song" one day.

"More Jack Than God" is another master piece.

Best wishes,

Michael

God love ya boyo! - You are one of my earliest influences in Music - Jack - Take good care of yourself please. I am working through some liver problems myself - not needing a transplant yet thank God. I've had two friends I know that had the new liver put in - It was hard on them - I can only imagine. please get well soon Jack. I started playing the bass becuase of Fresh Cream and love and play the blues to this day. I'm very lucky to still be playin - as you are - "Ol' doctor grease paint" will fix you up. When you get back on stage you will feel great (when you get off you'll be jaded!!) All love and best wishes to you and your family.

Hey Jack, I am so glad that you are doing much better. I am friends with Godfrey Townsend,Christopher Cross,Allan Parsons, and the rest of the "Walk Down Abby Road Tour". I think you might remember me as the big guy that owns the bar that you jammed at the night you played at the Westbuy Music Fair. The tour just wasn't the same without you this past summer. I pray that you get back on your feet real soon, and maybe even hit the road again. I'd love to hang out with you at BB Kings again. Get Well Soon buddy, I wish you all the best, Jimmy Canno P.S. Tommy Byrnes sends his love.

Dear Jack, Have loved all your music since Cream days. Saw you perform at a tribute concert for John Lennon in Cambridge Mass in 1980. What an inspiring show; hereing White Room live a dream come true. Love "things we like" with John Mclaughlin. My own music is better for hearing you. Will send many healing vibes to you, and best wishes for your joy in life and expression in music.

How much do we need talented people?

Almost as much as we need brave people!

You exemplify both. My 12 year old daughter watched the movie "School of Rock" and could NOT get "Sunshine" out of her head.

All generations need you Jack, we need your music! Way to battle back! We are with you all the way!

Dear Jack,

A friend alerted me (via the Beyond the Pale message board) about your transplant since we are both big fans of your music for many years. I hope you are feeling better and recovering from the liver transplant. I was treated for Hepatitis C virus last year which has been determined as successful for which I feel blessed and thankful although it was difficult. We all hope you'll recuperate and take good care of yourself so that we can see and hear your songs again when you are ready. Don't let the leaden winter bring you down forever. God bless you.

Cheers,

Hello Jack, Am deeply saddened on hearing the news of your illness, but heartened with the positive comments of your family.

Hope & pray for your speedy recovery as I look forward to traveling again from here to see you perform songs from your brillant new album, just like I witnessed a couple of years ago when you performed an excellent show in your hometown promoting "Shadows in the Air".

For what it's worth in my opinion your the best musician/vocalist ever.

And as one of your best songs goes "...the best is still to come."

So all the best to you and your family from one of your most ardent supporters,

Mike Sampier. (Galway, Ireland)

Dear Jack, My name is Jeanine. You probably wont remember me...I met you on the Abbey Road Tour in San Diego, (I was the crazy pissed girl in the wig and Union Jack Dress backstage...we had a couple of drinks together, you spilled red wine on my dress...I forgive you darling! hehe). I also saw all the New York/New Jersey and Connecticut shows,(as I live in New Jersey). I enjoyed meeting you so very much and I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been well. I just found out today while I was watching VH1 I think it was, or it might have been some other music channel, about your liver transplant. I'm so glad you were able to have this done and I know you will be well very soon and back rockin before you know it! All my prayers and love to you Jack. Rest up and get well soon! Love, Jeanine :-)

Jack:

We are praying for a full recovery. Saw you with Cream in California in early 1968 0n my way home from Navy service. We hadn't heard Cream where I was and your bass playing virtuosity knocked me out. I had been used to the old Big Band chords. In the early '90's, I met you briefly at Toad's Place in New Haven and you inspired me to take up the bass again. You are a soft spoken intellectual giant in the music industry and will always have a very large spot in my heart. Thank you.

Dear Jack Bruce, Please get 100% better, as soon as possible. And if you continue to play, which I hope very much that you do, and if you seek a drummer who cut his teeth on Cream and later Tony Williams (also has studied with Elvin Jones), please feel free to contact THIS drummer who thinks the world of you. Either way, I look forward to your complete recovery and continued well-deserved success. YOU took me from Rock to Jazz- THANK YOU!! All the best, Roland Pier 727-585-9004

Jack,

This was the first time I visited your website. Was shocked at the news of your surgery. We surely don't want to lose you too. Too many talented people have gone too early. Thank God you're recovering. I wanted to see if you were playing in the city soon (NYC). I wanted to see you perform. I've been a fan since the early Cream days. Please get well quickly and stay healthy. You're the best.

Dear Jack,

Today I learned of your struggle and eventual success and I want to send you all the best and hopes for a long life. Your music was a huge step in my musical evolution and inspired me to pick up a guitar and give it a go myself.

My wife also suffers from a liver disease (although she has never done drugs or taken a drink), so we certainly share some of the feeling you and your family have experienced.

Thank you for the music you have given us and I hope we can continue to listen for years to come.

-Mike

ps. If you're ever in the Northern Illinois area, stop on by and maybe we can jam..lol

Please let me express sincere best wishes for your recovery. Sounds as though it was a close shave. Your fans are set for great listening with the recent Sanctuary release and all the Polydor remasters. So take it easy and get well! And at some point we'll look for that third Sanctuary record.

I have read most of the e-mails on the website and can't really add too much more.

All I can say is that you have touched the lives of more people than it is possible to comprehend and consistently produced thoughtful innovative and challenging music wherever and whenever.

On behalf of my extended family (and each year a new batch of young musicians get to hear and attempt ot replicate your work)and every one of my friends who are true music lovers, please get yourself fit and well and then, who knows.

Please take things gently and don't let them tempt you to overdo it.

Much love from us all

I wish you a speedy recovery and all the best in the future. You are a truely remarkable talent and true good guy. I'm a fan forever!

As a long time fan going back to the Graham Bond days I was excited about the new release. Bought it..Love it...then the news in regards to your health. Wow! Glad to hear you are doing fine. Love the new disc...keep 'em coming. As a radio dics jockey I must say that rock music does not offer the musicianship I was weaned on so thanks again for swimming upstream and rocking outside the box!

Best wishes and health to you Jack a fan, Dean

Thinking about you, and hoping that you'll be good as new and ready to create more great music for another ...... 60 years or so. I still listen to " Rope Ladder " and " Morning Song " at least once a month, and that's over a period of many, many years now. Probably be doing the same with " Kelly's Blues " They are some great songs. Hoping only the best for you and your family.

Dear Jack,

I have loved your music since I was very young. I am now listening to "More Jack Than God" and just as fascinated as I was when I first heard The Cream. (For some reason I cannot really explain, "Harmony Row" is my favourite of all your work.)

I was shocked to hear what you have gone through; relieved and happy to hear that you have gone through it successfully.

There are lots of us who feel great affection for you.

One of whom is

I'd just like to say how wonderful that you have been through such an ordeal & come out the other side. I look forward to the future being able to hear your music for a lot longer.

May your recovery continue with great speed

God Bless

As a fellow Cancer survivor I always feel such pain upon hearing of another's affliction. It can be beaten and I am so glad to hear of your recovery progress. They always told me a good positive outlook was a key to recovery but I found a strange sense of humour was a great help as well.

Your music has always been some of the brilliant and has pointed me in so many different directions that I could never thank you enough. I loved Cream but Rope Ladder To The Moon was a true inspiration.

Please take care and get well.

Your music has meant a great deal to me ever since I first heard Fresh Cream in 1967 and saw the band play live twice in 1968. Your adventurous musical spirit, virtuosity, and unflagging committment to your art have always been a great inspiration.

I'm happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery, and am looking forward to hearing your next musical adventures, whatever they may be.

Sincerely,

WE all look forward to hearing from you again. I love the last two recordings and the muscial direction you and your band have taken.

My big brother, Thomas, was your biggest supporter and was responsible for me discovering your music. He passed away on 10/17/03 very suddenly. Whenever I hear your music, I have and always will think of him. At his funeral service we played a couple of your compositions from various periods in your career.

My God continue to touch you and your family. Please know that your music gets us through good times and bad.

Hi Jack. You have to get well soon. You are the reason I started to play bass, back in the Cream days, and one of the reasons that I began again in late '99 after a break of 14 years. If you should get bored while recovering, you can see some of my handmade basses on http://home19.inet.tele.dk/haze/ or just seach for "fenderbird" there are lots of links to me.

Hello Jack,

Extremely good news that you are on the road to recovery, and I wish you a very quick journey to the very best of health.

I would like to say (again) a huge 'THANK YOU' for the joy, inspiration and challenge : from listening to your music, following your musical path, and attempting to emulate your beautiful, harmonic basslines over the years.

Your music will always be top of my listening list, as it has been for 35 years.

Best wishes,

Dear Jack, Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.I dreamt about how very ill you were when I was in England this past July and again this month when I was on retreat at The Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury. I am so sorry to know the dreams were real and that you have suffered so ! I was so very concerned by these dreams that I prayed for you at the Red Well and left a prayer ribbon for you and your family there , you have been on my mind so much. Be assured dear Jack that our Lady of the Well and all her elemental friends have taken your prayers and health concerns into the bright Christ Light and that you are well-loved and watched over and healing !!! Bless you Jack, hang in there and rest and recover and feed your spirit body too. The healing light of God/Goddess be with you. love, Gail

I am very glad to hear you are getting along well. I went through the cancer thing last year myself. Not a fun experience, but one that puts the rest of life in a totally different perspective.

"Politician" was the first song I learned on bass, and I am still listening and loving your work. Still listen to your bass on Zappa's "Apostrophe"

Hope all continues to go well, and hope you can draw inspiration from your experience as I did.

Best Wishes to Jack and Family for a speedy and full recovery. I felt faint for a moment when I read the e-mail bulletin I just opened about Jack's health concern. I just lost my mother this past May, and I am still feeling that daily pain. My Mom knew how much I loved Jack's music ever since I was 13 in 1968, and saw him with Cream at Madison Square Garden. From that point I followed his career through solo and group efforts and saw him perform many times. Jack's music, musicianship, and love of his art have help guide me through this life. Long live Jack Bruce!

Evar since "Songs For A Tailor" your music has challenged, delighted and occasionally inspired me. I really regret hearing that you've been dealt such a bad card but I'm glad you're recovering. Your family has said that they're hoping you'll be recording and touring again; if that happens I'll be really happy but if not it will be almost as good to know that you're just better. Good luck.

I loved playing my red SG style EB0 and EB3 basses back in the late 60's....mainly because they made me feel like I was on a path towards greatness....of course that greatness had a name...Jack Bruce! Although I've never met you, I feel an afinity with you....I'm sure you've that before. My only connection is by way of a mutual close friend, Bruce Gary. He let me know what the "man" was like. He couldn't say enough! I wish you wellness.

All the best for a good recovery Jack. I've enjoyed your music over the years and have great memories of a somewhat tipsy JB playing at the Band-on-the-Wall in Manchester UK in the late '70's. It was a Wilson's bar but you had got lubricated at a pub down the road serving Boddy's. Your slautation to the wonders of Boddingtons between songs was most appreciated! (and the playing was great too!)

Good Luck Mate!

jack - it was quite a shock to hear about what happened, but i'm glad you're recovering. after you've recuperated, i hope we can see you play live again. i was too young to see Cream in their prime, but i've been happy to see two of its individual members out on their various concert tours(i've yet to see ginger - and he's my favorite drummer). you've been a big influence on my singing(much like ginger has been on my drumming), so it's always great to hear you perform. best wishes for a speedy recovery and best wishes to your family, too.

Dear Jack, you don´t know me, but i have missed not any of your concerts in bavaria since twenty years. When I hear your voice I become goose-flesh, when you play the bass I am happy. I pray for many more concerts to come. You made a lot of people happy. Keep on, Jack. I wish you a speedy recovery and embrace you. With respect and love

Jack,

A friend of mine just e-mailed me that you had the transplant. He is a native of Boston, Mass., now living in San Francisco. We are both still playing bass. He was the one that opened my eyes to the depth and intensity and humanity that you bring to the instrument. It was from that prompting(and wearing out the grooves on Disraeli Gears, Fresh Cream, Wheels of Fire, and the Goodbye album)that I decided to go to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. I started there in 1977 and saw you at Paul's Mall(a small club in downtown Boston) at either the end of '77 or beginning of '78. You were promoting the "How's Trick's" album, and the band was slammin' that night. I did not have the courage to approach you, but I will take this time to say, in light of the new oppertunity that you have in this life, that I am looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible. There are some great Concert clubs in the St. Louis area. POP'S and The Pagent are two that come to mind. I will check the sight to find out when and where you will be. In the meantime congratulations, enjoy your new start, and get your rest because I will be looking forward to some "Fresh Cream"!!!

Sincerely,

Barry Seigel

Hi Jack

I got a shock to hear that you were ill, but am overjoyed that the op went well. Your music has been an inspiration to me and you are still the best bassist around in my opinion. Your other musical talents astound me and you have brought a lot of musical joy to millions.

Take it easy with the recovery, but never stop the innovation with your music, because that is the inspiration that will drive many musicians for centuries to come.

Jack-Ever since I saw the Cream farewell concert at Madison square Garden (did you know that you caused such an overcrowd that the NYC fire chief saw the two page pullout in the New York Daily news that he went crazy because fans were sitting on the stairs and fined MSG! STILL the largest crowd there ever! What a Precedent!) I have remained a loyal fan with your complete discograpy. Jet Set Jewel remains one of the greatest songs of the past 30 years and I have heard many songs. I am SO relieved that you came through-there will NEVER be another voice and style like yours. I am dead serious when I compare you to great jazz singers-especially Sinatra. The music world is so now bereft of talent that you fill a void of large purport.PLEASE keep yourself well and churing out such excellent art.Is Peter well? Your duo outdid the Beatles. God's blessings on you and yours and get another collaboration going with Mister McLauglin! It will rip!-Philip

I have been a fan of yours for many, many many years. As a wee lad of 15 I idolized "Cream", it was my favorite band and the first band I ever saw. I grew up in New Jersey and as a birthday present my mother allowed my older brother to take me to New York City to see Cream perform at the "Cafe-A-Gogo". I was blown away as was my older brother and I have been a lifelong fan of yours ever since. Therfore, I was deeply saddened to hear of your illness and I hope and pray for your successful and speedy recovery as well as looking forward to seeing you perform in the near future. Back in 2002 I was fortunate enough to catch your gig at BB KING'S with two dear friends, Charlie and Mitch. As always your performance was inspirational, exhibiting an in the moment style sorely lacking in most of today's current "LIVE" acts. I look forward to experiencing a moment like that again and continue to celebrate the gift that is your music. LET NOTHING PUT OUT THE FIRE!!!!!!!

I just stumbled across your website and was shocked to read about your illness. I'm happy to see that you are on the road to recovery. When I first picked up the bass back in the sixties you were my idol, and over the years your music has influenced me greatly, probably more than anyone else. Thank you for everything Jack, and get well soon.

Jack,

So glad you made it through....and have this 2nd lease on Life. While playing with David Crosby one night he related the agony he had to go through getting his transplant...but as he says it's "better 'n bein' dead!" I just buried the first guitar I played with in a group when I was a young'n....from liver cancer.....so Carry On....and Flourish....like I understand Rocco from Tower of Power is....from his new liver transplant....see...you're in good company!!

Life is such a gift....that's why they call it the PRESENT!!.....and you're a wonderful part of that gift.

Love,

Devastated to hear about your health problems, Jack, but SO pleased that you've come through! We go back a long way - "I Feel Free" on TOTP in '66! I was truly fortunate to see you in Bristol with what I feel was the gratest band I have ever seen - Lifetime. Never quite got over that gig! And you were very kind to a poverty-stricken 18-year-old in Ronnie's in 1971. You found time to talk between sets with Larry Coryell and bought me a double scotch! What a star!

I was lucky enough to meet Johnny Mac when he was over here with Shakti last January. We had a good long chat about you and the old days with Graham Bond and Lifetime. I don't know how close you are now but I have done my bit to contact him and let him know the situation. Shakti are playing in London soon. Hope he gets in touch.

You and your music really changed my life and I am so grateful for all that you have given me. Thinking of you and hoping you go from strength to strength.

All the Best

Mike

Dear Jack Best wishes and prayers for your speedy recovery. When I was a high school musician in the 1960's, I became a "hot" bass player by listening to you and others. You are an inspiration to me.

I have seen several of your past tours, and look forward to seeing you again. Get well soon. Sincerely Thomas R Arnold

While I know you best from your work of thirty years ago, I have tried to follow you a bit since, and know you remain a first class musician.

But beyond that, I have enough experience to know it must have been an awfully difficult ordeal you've just come through. My very best wishes for your return to good health. And a million thanks for all that wonderful music ...

Since 1968, when i heard for the first time your voice and your bass playing, i always carry the way with the company of your music. With the pass of the years the relationship between your music and me strenghthened and today your music is for me a constant in my life. So i wish you, and you are for me the one and only greatest archetype of "the total musician", that soon-soon gain a full recovery and strike it lucky with your family, friends and fans. Straight ahead, Great Jack, because "the best is still to come" ("Encore". Automatic. 1983. Jack Bruce).

Ten years ago, as a mere 22 year old, I began a quest searching vinyl emporiums for the music of Jack Bruce. Songs for a Tailor was first and the others followed. I even managed the West, Bruce and Laing albums. As eveyone listened to Nirvana or Pearl Jam, I was listened to Bruce. Ten years later I'm listening to Shadows in the Air and it's a joy! Thanks Jack for the music so inspired, so passionate. I can't wait for more. Peace.

I was so sorry to hear the news however happy you are recovering. I am a life long fan of 37 years. My parents saw Cream in Beloit, WI in 1968. I am a pro-bassist now and you have always been on my mind at every gig. My father was from Glasgow,born in 1944.My grandmother died from cancer of the pancreas. I wish you the very,very best! I hope to see you sometime, David Wood FUIMUS

Twenty-seven years ago, I was a kid taking bass lessons. One day, my teacher said "if you want to hear the most amazing bass playing, go get an album called The Best Of Cream". He was right. Since then I've heard you on everything from "Escalator Over The Hill" to "Why Dontcha", with everyone from Mike Mantler to Lifetime, and live when you had Pat Thrall in the band. Your work has inspired me, uplifted me, and got me through some rough times (Songs For a Tailor helped save my sanity!). Thank you for a lifetime of great work, and best wishes for many healthy years to come.

Please, please get well soon. I want you to know that I worry about you very much. I send you all my love every time I think of you. I do remember that there were times when You made me stronger, kept me going, and now I want my love to help you survive.

I hope you feel better, as you have the support of your family and of your fans all around the world who keep writing messages on your website. You must be very happy.

I hope my mail has enlivened you a little.

Take care,

Dear Mr. Bruce,

as a human being I wish you a speedy recovery. Health is the most important thing in life, followed closely by love and the fulfillment of one's innermost dreams and desires.

therefore, as a lyricist, I have valued your amazingly fruitful collaboration with Pete Brown - among other magical encounters with key talents in your life - as one of the few true inspirations in doing "my own thing".

Thank you for existing.

Godspeed, Mr. Bruce. May you live long and prosper.

Patrick

ps We almost met personally back in 1994 at an Esslingen Gig with Gary Moore when I delivered a personal note from Don Preston to you. I was too nervous - then - and handed it over to one of the promoters of that event.

I did not know if an Old dog could learn a new trick but I decided To play bass. I have learned about twenty songs One of witch is sunshine of your love. Here is Link of my friends and I playing it. http://mysite.verizon.net/res1myyf/soyl.mp3 P.S. I was hospitalized again just not feeling well And they ran some test and the only thing they Found was A High liver count now I have to go See a specialist Do you Know what this means.

Dear Jack,

I am truly sorry to hear about your illness, but I am heartened to hear that you are making a comeback as usual. Congratulations upon your successful surgery, and for your inevitable return to full health and spirits.

Jack, your music has been part of the soundtrack of my life, and indeed I continually listen to your work. Although I have been a full-time luthier for 25 years now (you can see my work at www.mcinturffguitars.com)it is still a blast to perform your work with many of my friends. I was delighted to see "Out Into The Fields" included on your recent disc, and it is rather strange that your new version is somewhat akin to an arraingment of the tune that I had been doing. Ive spent a bit of time over the years taking the liberty of coming up with slightly different arraingments of some of your work. You might even like some of it, and want to kill me over some of it! I wish that you could hear my version of "Golden Days", one of my favorite songs of your's. That song will still get me a bit teary if Im in that mood. That is a deep song.

All my very best wishes for a speedy recovery....and many thanks for the countless happy hours that Ive spent with your work.

Terry McInturff

I owe you an immense debt. Your example has illuminated my bass playing, and inspired me again and again in my attempts to capture, hold and reproduce those sounds of yours - and to create some of my own. If you have use for it, I would like to return to you this evening some of the energy and joy that I have drawn from your music over the years. You are the Moses of bass. You led our people out of slavery. Thank you for that, thank you for the songs, thank you for not being afraid to give in to your musical id and let rip for all of us. Enjoy the new liver.

Dear Jack, I sent you an email on September 12th and now I certainly understand why a reply was not forthcoming. My friend notified me just today of what has transpired and all I can do is feel elated to know that God and medical Godliness have brought you through to restored health. When I saw you at the Greek Theatre this year you fooled me because you looked just WONDERFUL! I can only send this today in the hopes that tomorrow is brighter and closer to the life you know, love and enjoy. You are brave and blessed. Much love to you and your family and get well soon. Love, Michelle

Hi there,

I was shocked when I read the article in East Anglian Daily Times, but very relieved to hear that you are making a good recovery and may you continue to do so.

I have enjoyed your music for many years and saw you for the first time at the at the Cliff's Pavillion and enjoyed the gig very much.

My sincere best wishes to you and the family.

Dear Jack Bruce: I was not aware you were having health issues until I logged onto your site today, the 29th of October, 2003. I have not had the chance to visit your web site recently (I left a "guestbook entry" a year or so ago, and after logging on today, I wanted to leave something here). One reason I have not been back is I have heavily been involved in geneology research, tracing the Miller family back to its Scottish (YEAH!) roots, as well as other branches (Washburn, Hoxie, Preston, and Ford). I am glad to have checked out your site today, as well to find out you had a successful surgery, and are on the mend to a healthy recovery, and soon I hope. You may have heard "this song" many times, but you were my inspiration for learning the bass, taking music in college, and joining band(s). Your style, while you admit is inspired by many in various genres, is one of a kind in the rock (et all) world of music. My son, Preston J. Miller, is carrying on the tradition, and is now in his 7th(!) year of playing string bass, and has been to a fine arts camp (Blue Lake) here in Michigan three times, the last for Jazz...he loves his music, and I am encouraging him to pursue on as he goes forward in life. I don't want to go on about myself or my family...I just want to end by simply saying that I wish you godspeed and good/fast health and recovery, and my best and regards to your family and friends as you go forward. Take care, Mr. Jack Bruce, and keep playing...you are not only an inspiration to your family but to the rest of us, your fans, as well. James A. Miller/Kalamazoo, MI/Bassist since 1971 (Fender Musicmaster bass guitar and Hofner 500/HBZX (Sunburst/Single-Cutaway hollow)bass guitar with active elecltronics.

My wife is currently awaiting a liver transplant, so I have some idea of how you and your family felt as you awaited the outsome of tests, and then endured endless days and nights, hoping that a donor would become available. Having heard your name mentioned on an episode of the cop drama "Law & Order" last night, I was reminded to check and see how you were doing, and was overjoyed to hear you had found a donor and come through surgery sucessfully. "Harmony Row" remains one of my favorite albums (I've worn out three copies over the years), and I look forward to hearing a good deal more music from you in the years to come.

Only seen you live twice, Ipswich 24hour Blues Extravaganza back in the late 80's (That was the one with the crap monitor that you duly despatch into the front row) and Fruitmarket Glasgow a couple of years ago.

Still more to come....

Dear Jack,

I was so pleased to read on your homepage that your transplant was successful and I hope you will have a quick recovery from the surgery, and that you, when feeling fit to tour, will come to Sweden so that I get an opportunity to hear the songs from your new album live. I have been a fan since the early days of the Cream, and my undisputed favourite LP/CD of all categories and times is Harmony Row, whích has meant so much to me for thirty-odd years. But there are som many other wonderful songs and som many more to look forward to.

Best wishes

Jan Pålsson

The bass guitar would have been a different object from what it is had Jack Bruce not played it. The world of music is forever altered because of the contributions of Jack Bruce. My life is different because of the music of Jack Bruce. Thank you, Jack! Get well and God Bless!

From the first records in the mid sixties and the first gig (Lifetime) in '69, you have been the best there is. Its been a privilege to see you so often over the years, but I'm greedy and want to hear you play live again. Get better, get stronger and when you are ready, I'll see and hear you again.

God bless

Dear Jack,

So sorry to hear about your health problems. I wish you a speedy recovery.

I live in Kuala Lumpur but recently took the opportunity, while staying in a tenement house in Govan, to listen to Harmony Row after more than twenty years. Inevitably, that brought me to some of your most recent work. Perhaps it is the profoundly open hearted quality of your creativity that motivates me to write to you. Please know that my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

I wish you strength.

My partner and I were locky enough to sit front row at the Bridgewater Hall Salford in December or was it November 2001 and what a brilliant concert, I only spoke last night of it after watching Elvis Costello in Granada and remarking that Jack, Elvis and Stevie Windwood were the tree concerts that would remain in my memory as outstanding. Best wishes Jack heard the interview with Paul Jones over the Net BOUNCE BACK

I am so pleased that Jack is making a recovery. He is one of the "greats" in my view, and has continued to make brilliant music throughout the decades. His contributions to Kip's records are always superb, and the new record under his own name shows that there is a lot more great music to come.

Dear Jack Bruce and family, I have this instant only learned of Jack's liver transplant and am overjoyed to hear he has recovered and will continue to make beautiful music.

I've so much enjoyed Jack's music over the years. Your collaboration with Zappa on Apostrophe is very dear to me and being a fellow Scot makes it all the more special.

There was one song you did late 70's I think it may have been entitled "something to live for" I wonder if you could tell me which album that's on?

When you get better, come to Christchurch in New Zealand and play a gig please. That would be so great! If you haven't already been to this gorgeous country, I'm sure it would be an inspiration to you.

Have a speedy recovery and live life to the full,

love and respect,

Cris Fulton

Jack Bruce - The most innovative and interesting bass player I have ever heard. A consumate musician. I am an avid Cream fan. When I was at school I saw Jack as part of Lifetime (St. George's Hall, Liverpool, December 1970) and again,in Liverpool, as part of Jack Bruce and Friends (the Stadium, 1971). The news of Jack's illness came as a great shock. However, I am overjoyed to hear of his good recovery and excellent prognosis. I look forward to listening to more of Jack's work in the years to come. Every good wish, Jack

Jack: I was sorry to hear of your illness but pleased to hear of your successful surgery and recovery. Like others here, I've been a fan since childhood. In high school, I briefly played bass in a very bad garage band and tried to copy your style, to no avail, naturally.

I've managed to hang on to my LP copies of "Songs for a Tailor" and "Harmony Row," though some rat swiped my "Things We Like" some years ago. Glad to see it's being re-released and that you're still producing great new music.

Get well soon. My prayers are with you and your family.

Jack, Sorry to hear you fell ill; but also VERY glad to hear that you caught it before anything worse could have happened. I saw Leslie West in 1999 just a VERY few months after his heart sugery. I could tell he was still struggling a bit, but well. I recently lost my Father and it is still hard. So, you and Leslie take care of yourselves. I wouldn't like to lose either one of you guys, since you guys DID have one of my MOST favorites of bands together.

Hi Jack,

I was amazed at the news you were unwell because you were in such good form on Jools Holland and on the 'Wyman' and Paul Jones shows (i call him wyman because he seemed to think your name is Bruce).

Hey, I have been plastering your name all over the BBC Websites for ages, both on the 'Critical list' (yeah..you should def be on that) on R2 and on the R4 'Choice is Yours). Well that was my last posting..so from now on the choice really is yours. Hopefully it means more great music.

I thought 'UH-OH' was brill, one of the best songs for ages.

It goes back a hell of a long way..even to a live Graham Bond 'live at Kooks Kleek' L.P....Remember that...right through to the great solo stuff (even punk critic, Paul Morley hailed 'Out of the Storm' as a classic).

well even I was a punk in those days (b.1959) but I kept buying your stuff because I had an older cousin who lent me the Cream records.

Promise to get better Jack and I will get you on Desert Island Discs if it kills me!

Fond memories of seeing you at band on the wall and with 'West, Bruce and Laing' at the Free trade hall....the first gig i ever went to,..ahem Rory Gallagher was the next. So by the law of averages you will be fine, but..hey, don't go to the pub with George Best..okay!!!

Dear Jack,

I am thankful we have an original and a pioneer such as you still with us. We have lost too many. Since the first time I heard your music, I have been absolutely hooked. I have your 1990 signature thumb #11 which is just one tangible piece of your art I will always cherish.

Many thanks for the countess hours of great music. My best to you and yours.

You're a major talent, and a great favorite of mine going back to the Cream days. I play bass, and you've absolutely been one of my best teachers. I love More Jack than God, and I'm so grateful for the re-releases from earlier this year. With all of this awareness of you through the recent cd's, I am especially saddened to hear of these health problems. You've got my wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery, and I hope to hear more of your wonderful music live in the near future.

As a fellow musician, you have been an *incredible* source of inspiration for the past 30+ years. I feel very fortunate to have been able to see you at Miami Stadium on the Cream Farewell Tour (with Terry Reid, remember?)Your musical "vibe", the gift you've given us all, is something that I'll keep for as long as live. (I can only regret having never had the opportunity to jam with you personally!) Thanks for everything, Jack, and best of luck to you, always.

Jack: Best wishes for a speedy recovery - I'm so glad this option was available for you. I have always been moved by your playing. I was 16 when I first heard CREAM and the experience was like NOTHING I'd ever felt before. My son, Nick, is now 24 and plays guitar. He asked for and started lessons at 12. Hmm - I guess all my listening to guitar blues and rock had a bit of an influence on him. We viewed a documentary on Cream that we both enjoyed very much when he was 13. It was each of you explaining your influences and how you blended them into Cream. He (Nick) was astounded at your playing, and watched it over and over. Thank you for the sincerity and heart you've put into your work. I love your voice, also, and am so very glad that you chose to pursue a career in music, as your contribution has been immense. I sure wish I could see you live - maybe you'll tour and visit us in Sacramento or San Francisco one day. God Bless You and keep you, Jack.

Jack, I am so glad to be able to say 'hello' to you! I have just been catching up on some remastered releases - Songs for a Tailor and Harmony Row, also DVDs JB& Friends and the Canterbury one. I picked these up in the last week and so I thought I'd check out your site today. What a shock - I had no idea - hope you're feeling a lot better very soon. I saw you at the Edinburgh Festival in 1985 ( I think!!) at Qweens Hall. What a thunderous gig! I have been listening to your music since the late 60s and will never tire of it. Keep on keeping on! Come and see us in Sydney when you can! You're always welcome!

Best regards, Pete

I have been a fan since the first Cream album. I try and spread the word about you. Besides the Beatles, I think you and Cream had the biggest influence on pop music in the sixties. I have your autograph,given to me in 1980. John Lennon had just been shot. Sad to hear of your health problems. Glad to hear of your recovery. Get well soon and get back to Boston again. Where did "Boston Ball Game 1967" come from? Get well soon, Paul Rapatano

Jack, Godspeed with your recovery. I was introduced to your work with the Cream in late 1968 at the age of 12. I began playing the drums in 1965, and since the first I heard your music, it has remained one of the primary influences and inspirations to me. In the many years since, I have turned many a bass player and guitarist on to your work, and I think they have all benefited from it. Songs for a Tailor and Harmony Row are two of my favorite works I have by any musician. Listening to you also taught me how to sing. Thanks for the many years of pleasure and instruction. If you come to the Chicago area again, I hope to see you perform.

Dear Jack

I didn't hear about your health problems until yesterday, but I am hugely relieved to hear that you are recovering well from your liver transplant.

I first heard your music in, mmm, 1973 when I was 12, and I have been listening avidly ever since. Your music has woven happy golden threads through the ups and downs of my life for the last 30 years, and this must be true for thousands and thousands of people across all the continents - hence the number of lovely messages on this messageboard.

All best wishes to you and your family, hope you have a speedy recovery, and thank you so, so much for all the wonderful music we've had from you so far. Here's to the next 30 years!

Before I worked with this group, I never considered being an organ donor. I now have no hesitation. Jack, I understand what you're dealing with right now, but I know you have a very bright and healthy future right around the corner.

hi jack,just today i was saying to my brother(a bassist who loves you) that i'm going to your web site and see if your going to play in LA again sometime soon. My heart dropped when your site revealed your illness. i'm so glad your on the upbeat & on the mend. I left you a note about a year or so on your site about how I thought you were the worlds greatest living musician, and at the risk of sounding self centered, I want it to stay that way for many more years!! . your musical integrity has been an inspiration to me since a starting drummer 36 yr ago. PLEASE get well for yourself ,your family, and the millions of musicians whose life you have enriched. god bless you , get real well real soon, and play LA AGAIN .

Dear Jack, Cream, back in the 60s, were my first music fad, the first band to reach my "music G-spot" as I call it. In other words you, Eric & Ginger were the first musicians to show me that deeper, more impactful music existed. I had & enjoyed all your records! Over the years since then, I've followed your solo career, & Songs For A Tailor, Harmony Row, Out Of The Storm were all landmarks & milestones for me. I've a special soft spot for Lifetime too. And altho' we've had numerous bass maestro's over the years, surely all of them were influenced & shown the way by you, their forerunner. Special best wishes & regards to you now. Let's hear you continuing to make fine music for many, many more years to come. Oh, & I've heard that you've been writing & compiling your autobiography. I look forward to seeing that published. All the very best, Jack. Jeff.

Dear Jack,

I've been enjoying your talents since the mid-sixties. Just got in touch thanks to these semi-fantastic means and, to my dismay, read you've been feeling rough to say the least. First, I hope you're having a speedy recovery, and that the prospect of carrying on belittles the obvious inconvenience it causes you.

My wife fought, as only she knows how, and recovered from virulent rampant breast cancer (her third), diagnosed and treated from 2001 onwards. The twins we have, Donnachaidh and Drusilla, now five years old, motivated her to live - an old hack like me can always see things through by himself!

When she gets back from seeing patients in Nice I'll get her to write to you. She's a bio-psycho-therapist and can dig up the roots of an illness. Between you and me, booze, all sorts of smokes and other things are the likely blame-takers, but she can find the motivator behind the physical manifestation.

Apart from the selfish motivations of one who likes to listen to what you play, I sincerely hope you get back to a way of life that you can enjoy.

Regards, and admiration,

Duncan.

P.S. Never mind what the Aussies do to us today. We got past the starting phase of the tournament and made it to the quarter finals! Not bad for a wee country such as ours that has given the world more than it sometimes knows.............

Dear Jack, I wish you Gods speed in your recovery,I had the honor and pleasure to shake your hand and have you sign a dollar bill for me at BB Kings Club. You saw Les Pauls signature and said "well thats a good one" and I replied "not as good as the one I am going to get now. Jack you taught me so much about music you were that mysterious fourth player everybody was looking for with Cream. Your solo work as been sensational. God Bless...Joe

Hello Jack!

I will not wish you, All the best or quick recovery; you don't need it! You are a very strong person and I have absolutely no worries abour your recovery. God put you on earth to do what you do. You do it excellenty! You are the model of a true composer and performer. To my knowledge you are the only real composer of our time. Sure, we have other composers but not with your passion and knowledge of music. You may tire of hearing refrences to Cream and the like; forgive them, they just love you and sometimes don't know how to express themselves. I know how: I have followed you and no other! You're not going anywhere! God has much for you to do. I think you know that.

More than a fan,

Lawrence Ghent

Mr. Bruce,

I am saddened to hear about your cancer. I pray that everything is going well after your surgery.

I saw you at Red Rocks, Colorado when you were on tour with Ringo Starr's All Star Band. It was you I went to see. You were awesome.

Thanks for the many years of taking bass playing to new places.

Helly Jack;

Just read on Pat Mrtheny's website (American Garage section) about your battle with cancer and that you are now doing well. I am happy that you getting your good health back and on the road to a full recovery. Cheers!!!

I saw you with Ginger Baker and some guitarist at The Bayou in DC in 1990. It was a great show and you were fantastic. Your voice has always been one of my very favorites from the Creams days. Keep on making the music, playing and singing.

Love always,

LD

JACK:GODSPEED WITH YOUR RECOVERY! WE NEED YOU BE AROUND TO SHOW BASS PLAYERS ALL OVER THE WORLD HOW THE BASS GUITAR SHOULD BE PLAYED. WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE DEBUT ALBUMS I'VE EVER HEARD THAT REALLY TURNED MY HEAD AROUND I WOULD INCLUDE "FRESH CREAM" AMONG THE LOT OF THESE,ALONG WITH "MEET THE BEATLES","FREAK OUT"(ZAPPA),"ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?",AND "CLIMBING"{MOUNTAIN}.I HAVE SEEN YOU PLAY WITH RINGO 3 TIMES AND REALLY ENJOYED YOUR SOLO RENDITION OF "THEME FOR AN IMAGINARY WESTERN" AT THE PINE KNOB MUSIC THEATRE IN CLARKSTON,MICHIGAN AS YOU BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES WITH THIS MOST POWERFULLY SPIRITUAL SONG. AT THAT SAME SHOW YOU ALSO RENDERED "I FEEL FREE" WHICH WAS EVEN MORE SPECIAL SINCE I NEVER WAS OLD ENOUGH TO SEE CREAM IN CONCERT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SETTING SUCH A HIGH STANDARD OF QUALITY WITH YOUR BASS PLAYING AND YOUR SINGING. I FERVENTLY PRAY THAT SOON YOU WILL RETURN TO DETROIT TO GIVE A CONCERT,BUT FIRST YOU NEED TO GIVE THE NEW LIVER A TEST DRIVE! MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND DURING YOUR RECOVERY.YOURS TRULY,ROBERT ADAMS,JR.

Boston Ball Game 1967........... I have always wanted to open my show with that tune -- You have provided us with some GREAT music. Being a Ginger Baker era drummer, it has always been my sincerest wish to jam with you just once -- just to be surrounded by that energy. You are truly an inspiration and I wish you the very best. Peace be with you my brother, and may you fare well through this event.

Dear Jack, I was delighted to hear that you had a successful liver transplant, notwithstanding the post-surgery complications. As everyone has said, we are bloody lucky to still have among us the very best bass guitarist who has ever lived. And, anyway, who's this bloke called Eric?!!

Stay well, Jack,

Very best wishes, Stephi.

Dear Jack,

I'm just another stranger who admires you more than I can say and who is so grateful and happy that you are winning your battle against cancer.

I could write pages on how you have inspired me with your brilliant music and wonderful voice for over 30 years. But this time it's about YOU, not about the pleasures of one of your fans.

I hope so much that you achieve all that you wish for.

All the best to you and your family.

I just want thank Jack for the inspiration and great records. He has a lot more to give and hopefully he will so. The liver transplant is a piece of cake for someone who has sweated blood and tears just to create music that have touched so many people world wide.

He has always kept himself to his ideals and thats what makes him such a great musical artist.

In todays world of corrupt record industries and hand made pop artists , we need someone like Jack to show what really needs to be done to be a part of music, inhaling music and exhaling music.

Don´t hit the road Jack, Get back , Get back Show where it´s at With a great comeback !!

Dear Jack :

My friends used to tell me , what the F--- are you doing wasting time with the Blues ? Nobody plays that stuff anymore .... Then I would pop out a album of John Mayall and then Cream , and say , you guys dig this stuff ? Always a yes popped out --- I'd say tell " Jack Bruce & company they are living the Blues on a new and exciting level " -- That always shut these fools down ,--- yeah tell them the Blues is a waste of time ---

Jack , I have played harp since 1954 , and when I heard your bass lines & harp lines it told me the Blues will always live with guy like you hammering out the truth ... God Bless you , the wonderful times spent listing to you & guys like you made the world a little better off that it would have been with out your input .....

Give us more thrills and chill man it still there burning and churning inside you and everyone else with ears & heart like me .

Jack,

I bought the new album this week, and visited the site to see if there are any forthcoming gigs. I was shocked to read of your health problems. Glad to hear the news of your recovery. Especially shocked as your voice and songwriting has never been better and you were on fine form on the P. Jones show recently. As a fan since Cream I am looking forward to more albums and gigs. Please! My signed photo still holds pride of place here in Bewdley...

Dear Jack,

Looking back on my life, I would have to say that you have been a primary influence on my life, on many levels, especially musically.

I mean, I am certain that my persective on life and music would be entirely different if I had not been so deeply moved by your work with Cream and Tony Williams, and by your unbelievably underrated solo work. My perview, my slant on the world has been affected to such an extent by your compositions, voice and bass playing that I cannot imagine a life without "Sunshine Of Your Love" or "Deserted Cities Of The Heart" or "White Room."

A friend of mine has come up with a brilliant new arrangement for "Sunshine Of Your Love" and I will include it on my solo album 'Head Noise'.

Right now, I just cannot get enough of "Rope Ladder To The Moon" of your wonderful 'Songs For A Tailor' album; and I am struck by how much you have influenced the likes of Sting and so many others, including the fabulous Chris Arters.

You have left your mark; and it is one I am proud to wear as a badge of honor.

I, myself, spent a decade and a half dying, and am only recently recovering. So, I can empathize with what you have been going through.

You have, though indirectly through your recorded songs and voice, been a mentor to me. And though I may not be a "star", I at least have the integrity and honesty of my creative self expression and can see that you are one of a very few artists who influenced me to be that way.

I doubt that I will ever have the joy of working with you on stage or the studio; and so I just want you to know that your artistry resonates with me and I wish you only good.

Your legency lives on in me and so many others.

Live on and create more..."on the road to dreams".

With the deepest respect and sincerity,

Christopher Quinn

To Jack & his family,

Our best wishes and prayers are with you. Happy you received the transplant & came through the operation OK.

Six years ago my wife received a transplant for Hepatitis C. She had a rocky road for a couple of years due to complications from steroids and anti-rejection drugs. The last 4 years have been good and the new liver's doing well.

Her advice is learn everything you can about your medications and their side effects to load the dice in your favor. This is a new frontier and the docs don't know everything yet. Hope you're at least as successful as her.

Warm regards, Bob

Hello Jack, I've never written to you and I apologize for that. Been a big fan of yours for thirty years. I'm happy to hear you've made it through your initial recovery period from such a critical operation. Sure you're family and close friends are releived as well. I had the pleasure of seeing you perform in'89 here in Columbus with Ginger,Bernie,Blues and company and was blown away, I'll never forget it. You're overall musicality continues to inspire me and my other Jack fan friends who feel the same way. Hope I get to meet you someday. God's speed on your recovery. A major fan.

I've been a follower since the Cream days and have attended several JB Band shows-- loved all of them, especially the last one at the Omni in Oakland, CA where I was fortunate enough to see you and Ginger performing together again. Very memorable indeed.

Best wishes and prayers for a complete and speedy recovery.

Hello Jack-

They say life is all about great tone, and no one has you beat. I've been listening to your Gibson bass distort those Marshall cabs since I was a 10 years old. The live stuff from the Fillmore is STILL UNMATCHED.

I'm a guitar player and when I describe the tone I'm looking for from a new bass player I say, "just play like Jack Bruce".

You, Eric and Ginger. Pure magic.

All these years have past, and I'm still fascinated by the Disraeli Gears cover. Always finding something new.

Timeless music. You should be proud Jack.

I wish you a speedy recovery and a life filled with love, peace, and happiness.

To the mighty Bruce,

Been a fan since 1988 (better late than never!) when i found a video of the final cream gig. Cream were a power quartet Bass, Drums, Guitar and the VOICE! Bought all the cream albums + "Out of the storm" great vocals!.

I know you want to jam with Hendrix again but we would like to keep you around a little longer dude :)

Long live the Bruce!

Jack,

I would only like to say how shocked I was to learn of your illness and how greatly relieved I am now to know you are on the road to health. When I first heard you laying into an EB-3 quite some time ago, I was inspired to put the piano aside and become a bass player. It was the best decision I ever made! Soon I not only had my own Gibson, but through the years picked up the upright bass and even a Warwick Thumb fretless, so the influence has always remained. A greater gift was the road to jazz and other forms of music, including the very eclectic collaborations with Kip Hanrahan - music that is always a part of everything I play.

I hope you are better, and I wish you the best of health. The recent triumph of "More Jack than God" only proves you have ever more to give us all.

Vaya con Dios, Greg Conway

YOU ARE FAR AND AWAY THE MOST CREATIVE AND DEXTEROUS ELECTRIC BASSIST TO EVER PICK UP THE INSTRUMENT. CREAM ARE EASILY THE MOST IMPORTANT GROUP IN POPULAR MUSIC. YOU ARE A MUSICAL TREASURE AND I MUST INSIST ON A CREAM REUNION BEFORE THERE CAN BE ANY THOUGHT OF LEAVING THE PARTY. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Jack,

I hope all is going well for you. It was a thrill and an honor to see you play in person at The Taste of Chicago during the summer of '02.

I missed seeing The Ox in Abbey Road '01 due to bandmates insisting on rehearsing that night. Nothing could have kept me away from your show in '02.

I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Take care,

Bill

Dear Jack! I´m glad you´re getting better now and I hope that you`ll stay among us for some more decades before you must go. I must confess that for many years I`ve been a keyboarder and synthesizerfreak(one of the worst cases,you know).And it was you and your wonderful music who healed me from that.Now after studying your excellent "Bluesbass"book I`m playing the blues on a fretless electric bass and finally I feel free;-). Thank You Jack!

Jack, So sad to hear about your disease, yet so glad to hear that things seem to have gone well with your transplant. I'm looking forward to hearing your next smashing album after recovering! However, this is also the time to reflect, and to make peace with God. It reminds us that, well, it comes to us all, and as a fan, a fellow musician, but also a Christian, I would just like to challenge you to take the opportunity to pray to Him in Jesus' name. The Lord be with you, I will pray for you too. You've got nothing to lose.

Dear Mr. Bruce, I have based much of my study of the bass on your work both with rock and jazz. Like most of your fans, I love all creative work you did with Cream, but especially I enjoy your work with the Tony William's Lifetime and your solo albums. I missed you the last time you came to New York City and hope that, when you are restored to your full health, you will come back to New York!

Good luck on a speedy and successful recovery, Sincerely, Eric Silberberg

Memoir: about 1983 - foolishly agreed to support Mr Bruce at a small club in Bannockburn, me and my guitar and clarinettist. Rehearsing "Michelle" 3pm at the venue with our backs to the door. Suddenly accompanied by bass and drums, turned to see Mr Bruce and drummer had sneaked in. Apologised profusely for over-running my time - "Naw, son, I was enjoying that..." says Mr Bruce. In the kitchen just before the gig: looked out to find about 400 souls crammed into a 250 capacity room. By now I'm absolutely crapping myself, when Mr Bruce comes in and immediately puts me at ease. "You look nervous, son" he says: I reply "Have you seen the amount of people out there", and he says with a smile: "You get nervous when theres nobody out there...". Do the spot like a rabbit in the headlights, as we get down off the stage a punter claps the clarinettist on the shoulder, says "Gaun yersel, Acker...". Did I say "foolishly agreed to support Mr Bruce"? Of course not: it was a rare privilege. But when he came on, it was clear that God himself could have come down to do the first show and people would still have been looking at their watches. He was incredible. Bless you Mr Bruce.

Take care of yourself and many years of success to come,

Dear Jack,

Just the thought that you would leave us is saddening but allows me to reflect on your influence as it relates to my abilities as a musician.

Having been a fan since the Murry the K show in NY in 1967 (I think, I can list those things that have influenced me and now my thirteen year old musical son.

Bass a a six string instrument (at least with Cream) Bass as a lead instrument with its own voice and character Improvisation in a rock environment. Song writing beyond I IV V. The abilty to be a multi-instrmentalist. The importance of playing and writing across many styles of music.

The list could go on. But you need to rest and I'm sure there are many more emails to read.

Just get better and continue doing all you do. Your influence shall not diminish and I hope at least through my son impacts the next generation of musicians.

Dear Mr. Bruce:

I pray this note finds you in strong spirit and improving health!

My best wishes and thoughts are with you. Your playing, singing, improvisations & compositions have great emotional depth and influence in so many musical genres. You are in your own subtle and under-stated way one of the all-time greats. I have a fond memory of seeing your early 1980's band (with Billy Cobham, David Sancious, & Clem Clempson) from the front row at my college in New Jersey... I'd already been a fan for years and that gig made me much more of a fan!

Get well soon, the music world needs people like you.

Respectfully, LF

Dear Jack,

I feel really out of it for not knowing what you have been going through. I have been a huge fan for years and you have been my biggest influence as a bass player. I am sorry to hear you had to go through such a difficult illness but am very glad to hear you are on the mend.

I have most of your albums and have seen you perform twice. My old band covered White Room and I tried to learn many of your songs.

Thank you for all of the great music you have given us and may God bless you and your family.

Sincerely,

John Durbin alias Dr. X

Hello Jack; I sure hope things are working out for you. I was just listening to your NSU from Cities of the Heart with Ginger. It turned a low-down day into good as I was digging your grooves.

I'm hear to see what kinds of Bass you play, as my daughter (16) is looking into taking up Bass and I of course wanted to see what the best uses.

Was surprised to see of your health problems, and want to wish you well. I've been loving the Jack Bruce Bass for 30 years since I was teenager. Loved your work with Leslie West, sure would like to see you guys do it again. I see Mountain when they're in town (Detroit). Leslie cracks me up, what an attitude! Richie Scarlett is a wannabee, they need the big balls on Bass. Come on, Jack! You guys were a great pairing.

Best Regards, Philip Mollica

I“ve seen you a lot of times since 1980 in different countries. I love your music (both jazz and rock and blues) since I can remember (about the late sixties). I wish you all the best. Keep you healthy. It“s the most important. Of course I would like seeing you on the road again, making records. But.... there is no doubt : your music will live for a long time - at least 50 years. But what about you ? I hope the best for you as a person, that you“ll manage as many years as possible. I can“t love you because I don“t know you as a person. But i sure love your music. A lot of people - familiy and friends - love you as a person, not as an artist. Think of them !!! Have good time. We others can hear your music almost every day.

Best wishes from all my heart to you, the best bassplayer I,ve ever heard.

Jack , Best wihes to to you. Have a speedy recovery.

In my opinion, you have one of the best voices in Hard Rock. When you and Eric sang " Born Under a Bad Sign", you're the voice that I listened to.The Raw power of your Bass playing as well as your voice has left a lasting impression on me. You were the driving force of "Cream" in my opinion.

Warm Regards, Always your Fan,,,,Rudy

Thank you for your last album "Jack more than God" and all others since '64! I“m hoping you'll get well so you can make lot of songs in the future! Why not visit Iceland some day to play here, Iceland is only two hours away from Scotland! Clapton has been here twice, but only to catch a fish. Do better and play here for me and all of your fans and believe me they are many...!

Glad to hear you're on the mend. I've been listening to your music since '75 and was inspired to start playing bass after hearing Live Cream Vol I and II. Still playing these days and looking forward to hearing the new album. Get well soon!

Best wishes,

Hey Jack man!!:

I was just enjoying the reissue of Songs for a tailor,even had made two copies of the album(one for a bassist friend in Chile who truly admires you,every single high pitch glissando he approachs reminds me and him also of your style boss!),then i found out of your health problem in the mojo magazine.Well,Thank God youre alright Jack,he really knows you must stay around lots of years still man!Thank you for your band Cream,for your voice and your music,for the years that Harmony Row as been a musical companion for me and my friends(you cant imagine how many years we waited for this reissues,we had to conform for noveltys with old argentin copies of A question Of time or so!)Thank you also for changing the rules of popular music, over the truecriminal harm that most teachers inflicts in music academys all over the world,trying to pretend that rock didnt exist or that it never changed the face of earth,God knows it did and permanently,so be it with his will!Last thing,wish you lots of future toasts with chilean wine too,Get soon well and back on the road soon again,Mr Jack Bruce!!

Dear Jack, I am very relieved to hear that you're doing well again after your liver transplant! I am your biggest Dutch fan since the early Cream days and I followed you throughout your career. You made so many beautiful albums. I hope to hear much more music from you in the future, so you better get well very soon. Thank God, you didn't go the same road as Rory did after his liver transplant (so sad). All the best, Tom.

Jack, I'm in a Blues Band called Tommy B. and the Stingers, and I probably wouldn't be if I hadn't gotten hooked on Cream when I was in college back in the 60's. I went out and got an EB-3, and proceeded to try to be you. I've since switched to lead guitar, but your vocal power is still an inspiration and at jam sessions I still strap on my bass and play the hell out of I'm So glad, Spoonfull, and Crossroads.

Can't thank you enough. Get well soon, you're needed.

Thanks,

Tommy Blake

Dear Jack, I hope and pray that you get well soon. You are one of the main reasons I took up playing bass as a teen. I am not a professional, but I do play bass at church and consider it a pleasure and a gift to be able to do so. There are many bass players I have listened to, but in my opinion you are one the pioneers of the instrument and took it to new levels. I want to thank you for all you have done and continue to do for the music industry. Without musicians like you, life and music would be very boring.

May God Bless

Best wishes for Jack getting well as soon as possible from Hamburg. Since my friends and me have seen Jack with Cream at the Star Club in Hamburg in 1967 I had loved his music and visited his concerts through all the years, the last time in 2001 in the 'Fabrik' in Hamburg.

We hope to see the best bass-player and the most interesting pop-componist we know on stage again.

Jack, get up.

Dear Jack;

Best wishes for a continued strong recovery from your close call. I wish we fans could inspire you to the best health ever in the same way you have inspired generations of adventurous musicians.

Of course I have all (well almost all!) of your CD's (and a few bootleg tapes, videos and the new DVD) and saw you play twice in Detroit. Once from about twenty feet away when you played with the Tony Williams' Lifetime (you played a maple neck Fender! - I think) and the other time from the edge of the stage at the old Grande with West Bruce & Lang - probably the most awesome concert I've ever attended (I even copped your high-rise red leather boots!).

I was a bass player then ('67 EB3) earning my way through University and 28 years on I still plunk about (with a Jazz Bass, MM Sterling and recently re-acquired '69 EB3). Somewhat incongruously - from my real life day gig as a city planner - I explain to my musically-inclined Primus-crazed 10-year son that Jack Bruce was the Les Claypool of his time! And besides Jack can actually really sing!

Over decades you (and a few other 'drive to the edge' great players: Chris Squire, Tim Bogert, Jaco, Stanley Clarke, Flea, Les) have provided so many countless hours of musical thrill-riding that I can hardly thank you enough. (Hey, that lucky Bernie Worrel: Jack and Les too!). Speakin' of linkages, we sort of share one! - in the 70's I played in a Detroit-area band with a great guitarist (Joe Konas aka Joe Wayne) from Britain who'd replaced Mick Taylor in The Gods after he'd left for the Stones - who of course left the Stones and played in one of your bands - OK, not that much of a link, but I couldn't resist.

Anyways, I look forward to seing you play live for a third time and hope you can tour the west coast or Detroit area again soon. Otherwise I'd have to drag my son with me to that dreary little always damp island and challenge your new liver to a pint of your favourite brew!

All the best in health and happiness. Now I just need to go out and get Apostrophe and/or Monkjack. Or play the live Wheels of Fire one more time.

Sincerely, James Seltz

(Thank God for the internet - and well-updated websites like yours.)

Jack:

Was just listening to some old Cream, thinking about you, flipped to google then your site -- saw you've just been through the liver transplant thing.

I had my first in '95 and second (much more successful!) in '98 and am doing quite well.

Hope your recovery is smooth with minimal complications. It can be very hard or it can be not so hard ... if you have a chance, my story is at www.awakenings.com/ltxp

Regards & be well. Funny way to connect, but it's still a special club ...

PS Cream played at my high school -- Staples High School, Westport CT in I guess 67 or 68. Missed it though ...

I was bass player until 3 three years ago. I then became paralyed with a brain tumor, I am paralyed on right the side. Needless to say I can't play bass anymore.

Get better and is any chance you might get to together with Cream please ?

Sincerely,

Art Ballas

I had the rare privilege and pleasure of seeing you at the Ivanhoe in 1977. Your music has been a source of inspiration to me since well before Cream. Your craftsmanship and artistry remain unequalled. I look forward to hearing more after your speedy recovery.

With Great Admiration and Respect,

Hi Jack, I`m a fan from Brazil and a bassist too as you. Thank you for what you have been doing for our beloved instrument in all these years. I had a bass student here who was a fan too. You have always appeared on the magazine Cover Baixo which is licensed by The Bassplayer here in Brazil as you are a real source of inspiration and admiration for bassists in my coutry. I hope you will get better and better after the surgery that, thank God, was a success! I`m writing to you at this moment listening to your song from Disraeli Gears(The Cream): Take it Back. Beautiful bass and beautiful voice as well. I`m just like you: I like small and light basses, but I haven`t found one yet. Could you please suggest one trade mark, where I can get it etc?! That`s all for the moment and hope to see you at work really soon. The world of the 4 strings needs you, man!!!

Dear Jack I have only heard of your illness today, but by now I hope you are well on your way to complete recovery. Over the years I've had the pleasure of introducing your music to anyone who would listen-either through the radio station where I was music director, my record shop or through the music shop where I currently sometimes work. Of the thousands of albums I've collected since the late '60's, only a handful are never far from the turntable or disc player. Needless to say, yours have always been among them. Get well soon, and keep making albums as wonderful as More Jack Than God.

I was listening to some Cream tracks and I just wonderd how Jack Bruce was. I didnt know about the liver transplant ( I've had my own health problems ) and would like to wish him well. Jack is originally from Glasgow, as I am, and we were always so proud of this in Glasgow. So as one fellow citizen to another I will pray for your good health

Dear Jack, the first time I ever heard you play was on a jukebox in a café somewhere in Denmark. To be more precise - it was in my hotel room which was on top of the café. At night me and my brother, we were quite young then, lay listening to the fabulous opening chords to "I Feel Free". We didn“t really what song or what artist it was, since mom wouldn“t let us go into that smokey café to find out. Somehow we eventually got to know what song it was, and we went out to buy it. Since then I“ve bought every record you“ve released, not only your own recordings, but also records on which you appear, including Carla Bley“s "Escalator over the Hill"

You are the only artist that I“ve seen perform four times, and every time you have come across with energy and passion.

I wish you a speedy recovery, and I hope to see and hear you many times in the future

Lasse Brandt

PS I once said that if I ever got a son he would be named Jack, but my wife refused. It didn“t really matter - he turned out to be a bass player anyway

Hi Jack,

Many wishes for a speedy recovery and good health. We've been big fans of yours since the '70s. We last saw you perform with Ginger Baker in Oakland in 1989--a great concert.

Any chance you might wind up on tour in southern California?--we can guarantee a packed house, whereever you might play. We really love your songwriting and awesome bass playing.

Take care,

Brian and Marysue

In reading the latest issue of Guitar Player, I was stunned to learn of your recent illness.

I'm a long, long time fan (before I saw you at the Fillmore West way back when with Larry Coryell, Mitch Mitchell and Mike Mandel).

Though I'm a guitar player now, my 1st love was the bass (largely due to Wheels of Fire)

Best wishes for a speedy and long-lasting recovery.

Seriously - take very special care Jack and much love to you, Magrit and the children.

Hi Jack, I was devastated to hear about your illness but totaly over the moon to hear that your transplant has been such a success. I have followed your career since I was at school, bought The sound of 65 and have been an avid fan ever since. One of my greatest memories was when you spoke to me at the Club a GoGo in Newcastle when you were playing with Cream. It's such a brilliant thing to meet your heroes when your that age.That night I managed to catch both sets in the Young Set and the Jazz Lounge (even though I was under age for the latter). Well many a year has pased since then but your albums (& CD's) are still part of my daily listening. As I write this I am listening to Shadows in the Air, which I think is brilliant. I'm also very much enjoying More Jack Than God. Keep up the good work Jack I look forward to seeing you again in 2004 and following your work for many years to come. All the VERY best. Brynn Gilmore.

I felt very worried when i read abaut Jack's sickness, and at the same time very hapy to know his sucessful transplant. I'm Jack's fan since I was a child, and I think that art is a way of seeing the world, way of feeling life. I ever had the impression to have many things in common with Jack's music. I realy hope you're feeling better and that you can fast return to work. We need you.

Similar to the "Light" that you have shown on all of us with your Music. Keep on the mend, Jack, We love you and need more of your "Light"

I'm so glad to hear about the successful surgery! I first learned about Jack because of Cream. Even though I'm a guitar player I always admired Jack's playing and singing even more than Eric's. In the 1960's (I'm 49 now) I eagerly awaited each new Cream album and later the solo albums. My all-time favorite is Songs For A Tailor. Jack is absolutely one of my musical heroes, right up there with Hendrix, Nat Cole, Louie Jordan, Dave Brubeck and Muddy Waters! Get back to work soon. We all need to hear more Jack! Jack played in Kansas City only once that I know of, with West, Bruce and Laing. Edgar Winter was the opening act. We had good seats but one of my friends had done some bad THC and started hallucinating and we had to leave. We sat in the car outside of Memorial Hall and listened to the whole show. Man was I pissed! My friend is clean and sober now but I'll never forgive him for that! Funny thing, about 10 years after that concert I was at an estate sale and I bought a long sleeve t-shirt from that tour. I've never worn it but I'll never get rid of it! Get well soon Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! I just found out about your illness via Mastermind, a U.S. prog band of great talent and integrity and are also huge fans with a direct link to your site for finding the guest book. I have been a fan since Fresh Cream and got to see you here in Eureka a few years ago with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band. I had a great time seeing you all and you were just awesome on the fretless and the violin bass as well...your voice is just legendary and one of my all-time faves is you singing on Allan Holdsworth's Road Games...man you are so good.I am so happy to see you are recovering and are planning on staying. Roye Albrighton of Nektar just went through the same thing and he is already back on stage so I know it won't be long for you too if you still feel like performing. Anyway, I just want to add my good thoughts from the Redwoods and let you know Sir, that you are cherished and respected beyond your wildest dreams. Be well Sir Jack, Rand Anthony Kelly.

Jack, I am truly devastated to hear this news. I am praying all is well. Though I played string bass in orchestra, took electric lessons at the same time, It was those ten dates at the Fillmore that taught me to PLAY You changed my life (and the world for bassplayers!)The Beatles woke me up.. But it WAS YOU Jack that taught me to PLAY. The greatest gift ANYONE has ever given to me. Because of you I found the TRUE meaning of Jazz. God Be with you my dear friend, and know YOU ARE LOVED!

Jack,

I've been worried since I heard about your illness only a couple of days ago. I hope you're doing OK. I've been listening to you since I was 12 and I'm 40 now - I expect to be able to get your latest release when I start drawing my pension - OK??

My brother runs a Frank Zappa tribute band and they did a concert last week to remember Frank. I flew up to Edinburgh to play Apostrophe with them - a small payback, but that one was for you.

All the Best,

James (fae Edinburgh)

Hi!I'm glad you made it and came through. You've been an inspiration for my music listening and playing. Last week I bought the newly released "Jet Set Jewel" on CD, and it's a pity that it wasn't released back in '78. It's a great record! I hope you'll get your strenght back to get a good life and to be able to make more fine records to balance all the other shit ("computer designed music") that exists. Last but not least; I managed to get a copy of your concert in Stockholm March 1967. Do you remember that concert? A well performed one! By by

Hell, Jack, I just read aout your scrape with the Grim Reaper.

I have a CD that I play in my car almost every day. It's you, Ginger Baker and Gary Moore featuring Ginger on the cover art smoking a cigarette and wearing angel's wings! I love the music and love hearing your voice.

It's the same voice I used to listen to in high school when we would crank up Fresh Cream in my buddy's old Chevy and scream around the school parking lot instead of being in class.

The same voice we heard in about 1973 when you came to our town with West, Bruce and Laing.

So, Jack, it's good to hear that you're on the mend. We aren't ready to give up hearing that voice and bass playing. I read an interview with Mr. Clapton not long ago and he paid you quite a compliment, saying that he learned more from you about being a musician than anyone else he has played with.

Damn, what an epitath!!

Regards!

Thanks for all of the amazing moments you've given us, but we're greedy and want more! Don't know how it is that the muse has visited so many great artists only briefly and yet somehow with you it's taken up residence!Wishing you the absolute best!

Best wishes from a fellow Glaswegian, glad to hear you're on the mend. I'd sort of lost your music for a few years and rediscovered it with Shadows In The Air (I love that album). I won't lose it again! Apart from the fantastic music from everyone on that record your voice still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Lang may yer lum reek!

Mr. Bruce,

As I write this "Sitting on Top of the World" recorded in 1968 at the Forum, LA is blasting away in my headphones... I drift back in time to remember my awe at a Cream concert at Madison Square Garden… Then countless recorded contributions through the decades… I use this to preface my remarks to emphasize that I am so grateful that a talent such as yours is with us - The press releases announcing your improvement is indeed great news for those of us who fully appreciate your contribution to the world of music. My hope is for a full and speedy recovery, you deserve nothing less. Enjoy life Mr. Bruce; it is indeed all a gift.

Dan Hughes

I'll long remember a gig you did at the Clapham Grand with Simon Phillips and Blues Saraceno. You guys were *!%@#*! awesome! Have just got the new cd of Things We Like. Great to hear it again after all this time. Stay well man.

Dear Jack,

I'm airing Disraeli Gears tonight for our "Classic Album Playback" feature, and heard about your condition, so thought I'd chime in with my best wishes for a full and healthful recovery. If you haven't spoken with him yet, I'd suggest you communicate with one of your contemporaries about his transplant, namely Phil Lesh, one of the two greatest bass players in the history of rock. Well, one of the three greatest, if one includes Entwistle. And I do.

I saw you perform on Ringo's All-Star Tour a few years ago, along with Peter Frampton, Gary Brooker, and Simon Kirke. My friend who saw the show with me and I agree: it was absolutely one of the very best concerts either of us ever saw, and that's saying a lot! We hope to see you again soon.

Happy Holidays, Bryan E. Smith

One more heartfelt best wish from one more old fan. Heard you with Cream, West, Bruce and Laing, and also Tony Williams Lifetime (small club in Manhattan - really mindblowing). Having moved to Maine from New York I don't get near places where you play these days - my loss. Favorite song - still "Theme for an Imaginary Western" (heard Felix do it many times too). Best wishes for full and rapid recovery.

Hi Jack,

Here's hopin' that you're, "Live and Kickin'" in short order. It's family and friends that will pull you through.

I had a good friend in the mid-70's who almost became the bass player for Lynyrd Skynrd right as they were cutting their first album. I can remember how awed he was at that time with your playing. He had never seen a bass player who played chords on the bass.

Wishing you the best!

Jack,

Recover swiftly and soon, man! If Jim Nabors can do it, so can you. Way back when, I can only begin to tell you how important Cream was, not just musically, also sociologically. The imagry of the soundscape was an essental component of the times that significantly contibuted to propelling the inertia of whatever that counter-culture scene was forward.

Your first two solo albums: Wow!!!!

When I saw you at the Bottom Line with Ginger, I'll never how great that show was becasue I taped both sets. Also, I'll never forget the visuals of when Ginger deservingly and most humorously in a rightous way to put out the fake pretensions of imitation cool poured water on Blues' head during a second set solo, while Blues was on his back copying Jimi from Monterary Pop. Other than Blues, it was a fuckin' great show, man. After the show I got you and Ginger to sign my Atco Records Turn Onto Cream psychedelic poster. Way back in '68 when I was in 11th grade I told the owwner of the record store that I went to, that I wanted that poster which just came in after Wheels On Fire was released. Eight months later he gave it to me. This was just outside of Washington D.C., which was really political during the last half of the '60s.

I also saw you in Los Angeles at The House of Blues with Ringo, whom I first saw at The Concert For Bangladesh. This was also another great show. I really wanted to see Ringo again. And becaue you were on bass - Damn It!! - I had to pay $85 to see you, even though I really coulod not afford it. Nonetheless, well worth it casaue I got to see and hear you in live performance again.

I have on VHS tape your appearance on Sunday Night when you told David Sanborn that you first met in a parking lot in Detroit causing a chagrinned David to smile defensively and the band with Hiram et cetera to break out laughing!!!!!

Like John McLaughlin, whom I am frindly with, you have been a very important part of my musical development: For example, becasue Fresh Cream did a song credited to Robert Johnson, I went out and bought the frist Columbia Robert Johnson album.

Although, I am basically a book author and have a Master's in Anatomy because I was thinking about becoming a neurobiologist research scientist, I became a realtively proficient country blues guitarist. When I perform, I play acoustic countrty blues music. I can't sing so it is just instrumental fingerpicking music with a driving rhythm, a heavy back beat, moving bass lines and melodic improvizations, along with some interesting harmony to round out the sound that gets people up on their feet, clinking beer bottles together and shouting. When I introduce meyself I state,

"Good evening. I am The Blues Vegetables. If Blind Lemmon Jefferson was in my group we would be The Blues Fruits and this would have a whole other meaning. So, I am The Blues Vegetables".

You will not "burn alone". We are all rootin' for ya'!!!!! Fully recover and add some more wonderful music to the planetary sounds. The Earth would be better off.

My freind, Dennis Loren, designed a book of mine called 1001 Popular Music Questions, that we are still trying to sell to book publishers. Dennis was that last art director of Cream, magazine that is, for its last five years. You can see some of Dennis' psychedlic poster art at two web sites: www.posterplanet.com and www.bluemoonbiz.com. Dennis has designed over 800 records, cds and has done scores of posters. Dennis has some artist who only use him to create their concert posters, such as the White Stripes. Mojo just did an article on Detroit muscians that featured some of Dennis' poster art. Whenever we sell this book your amazing and imporatnt muscial contributions to the story of the development of the popular music of the previous century will be duely noted and lauded. Gordon Edwards of Stuff, along with a number of other professional musicans I know; wrote a nice recommedation for this book to use in advertizements and on the back and inside covers to help sell the book.

One fast Gordon story: When I moved to LA from NYC my Martin D12-18 was stolen by the movers. I have had this guitar since '76 and it was actually built in '74 when the Martin factory shipped it out as a special order. This 12-string was a beautiful guitar with natching knotholes on the face. I bought this guitar so that I could sound like Blind Willie McTell. Year ago, outside a club after a gig with Cornell, Jimmy Norman, my good buddy, and Stuff II's keyboard player; Gordon tell this story that his main bass guitar that he recorded with King Curtis, Aretha and so many others during the '60s while on tour in the early '70s was stolen. Gordon said that this bass had some distinguishing wear on the face of the instrument. That whenever he sees someone palying bass on television he always gives a close look to see if it is his stolen bass that is being played. Gordon also said,

"Of all the Holiday Inns and other cheap hotels I stayed at, this guitar was stolen while I was staying at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel!!!"

I remembered this story. So, I call Gordon to tell him my hard luck story about my stolen 12-string guitar. Because your guitar is your sound, I tell Gordon that, "Losing a guitar is like losing a woman." Gordon then replies in his gravelly voice: "It's worse!!!!!"

Hang in there. You're still an amazing and inspiring cat.

Jack,

I just bought a copy of your 50th birthday celebration CD "Sitting on Top of the World." It brought me back to 1968 in Chicago when I saw you play with Cream.

Thanks for the music and memories!

I havn't visited the site for a couple of months and was shocked to hear of Jacks illness. As much as I am shocked, I am overjoyed to hear that Jack is making a good recovery. Jack....you're a real trooper and an inspiration......those bass tones of yours have inspired many to pick up and play...me included.

Good luck and warmest wishes to you and your family for the future.

Jack: Here's hoping your recovery is steadily moving forward. I must say that I was shocked and saddened to learn of your illness last year. It was quite a relief, however, to later learn that you were "on the mend."

Here's hoping that you're back on your feet as soon as possible and that your creative energy will once again flow forth. I'm a long time fan, having first seen you perform in Providence, RI with Cream in 1967. In the ensuing years, I was able to catch a club performance with Ginger (1988), and several shows with Ringo. Last summer, I saw the "Abbey Road" tour Hyannis, MA and enjoyed your incredible numbers most of all.

Thanks for sharing your talent and your humanity with us fans. I truly hope that you are well and that the new year brings you happiness and very good health. Bless you, Jack.

Dear Jack-

I'm so sorry to hear about your illness, but so happy to hear that it went well and you're on the mend.

Please get well soon, and don't watch too much television. I watched too much tv when I was sick, and it only depressed me.

May God work continued healing in your body. May you feel His presence and know that He's there for you.

Lots of love, Diane

I wish you a complete recovery from your illness and surgery. As one of the hundreds of thousands of people you have entertained through your talents and endevours, and the thousands you have inspired to pick up the bass as an outlet for the positive energy you exemplify, only a few can claim that they share another, uncontrolled, unchosen element in this world, that of celebrating the same birthday as you. Here's to many more shared celebrations.

JUST AS YOU WERE INFLUENCED, AS A TEEN, BY A HANDFULL OF GREAT MUSICIANS, I TO, LEARNED FROM MUSICAL GREATS SUCH AS YOURSELF AND FELIX. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME. JUST RECENTLY WE LOST OUR DAUGHTER, MANDEE, TO A TRAGIC AUTO ACCIDENT. AFTER SPENDING THE LAST FOUR DAYS OF HER LIFE HERE ON EARTH IN I.C.U. SHE PASSED ON. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE EVER LOSING YOUR (21 Y.O.) CHILD. BUT EVEN THROUGH OUR SADDEST DAYS OF LIFE COMES, IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER, GREAT JOY. WE DECIDED TO DONATE MANDEE'S ORGANS, MARROW, ETC. WITHIN ONE WEEK MANDEE SAVED THE LIVES OF FIVE PEOPLE. THROUGH THIS, MY WIFE LAUREN AND I DECIDED TO START A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION TO ENCOURAGE SUCH A PRACTICE. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF MORE PEOPLE WERE IN TUNE WITH DOING THIS. MAYBE SOMEDAY, DURING AN UNITERUPTED MOMENT, I WELCOME YOU TO RETURN A COMMENT. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF YOU'LL EVER READ THIS. BUT, NONE THE LESS, WHOEVER IT MAY BE, I HOPE THEY ARE TOUCHED BY THIS STORY. I WISH YOU WELL, TEACHER. GOD BLESSED YOU. BILLY MERC !!!!

Dear Jack - Get well soon! Your music has inspired me throughout my life. I play sax, flute, blues harp and drums. I started out playing rock and now play jazz and blues(but still love to rock. I played drums in a sax trio (on SST records) and told people that our concept was to play like live Cream with Rhaasan Roland Kirk on sax. I really loved your modal improvisation concept in Cream and felt it was a lot like Ornette's harmolodics idea - especially the Ornette on Tenor record. Your composition and performance all through your career is great. I wish you good health, happiness, prosperity, and many many more years of great music making!

I've been a fan since the Cream days, and the "Songs for a Taylor" album was a big favorite of mine, so hearing you sing and play live was a real treat. I hope that I'm able to see you in concert again in the future. Take care, be healthy, and keep making music. All the Best, KM

Dear Jack,

Congratulations with your survival.

I was born in 1961 an a fan of Cream etc since 1969. Besides my work, I play bass since 1975. Your concert in the Melkweg in Amsterdam impressed me very much.

Succes with your healing, Evert

Hi Jack,

Congratulations on your successful transplant and good luck on your recovery.

I've never spoken to you but I have admired your work for many years. I saw you perform one time at the Shrine in L.A. with Cream. However, my favorite of all your projects is "Harmony Row". My daughter recently visited her fiancee in England and brought me back a new copy (cd) of it. I love to play it for my adult children and watch their faces in amazement. One of these days, I would like to see you perform at "The Baked Potato" in L.A. It's a great club and I know you would enjoy it. I recently saw Allan Holdsworth play there. Andy Summers also plays there a lot. If you do, I will be the guy who asks you to sign my Harmony Row CD.

Once again, good luck with your health.

Sincerely,

Steve

Jack, I'm a long time fan who has most of your recorded material and I have seen you play live many times. I am very glad to hear that you pulled through liver transplant surgery and best of luck for a speedy recovery. By the way, I saw Leslie West and Corky Laing as Mountain last month and Leslie announced to the crowd that you had just had the surgery and he dedicated the song "Why Dont'cha" to you to much applause. I'm trying to find the "Live'N'Kickin" on CD - great version of "Playin' With Fire." Thanks for the years of great music - Get well! Sincerely, Steve

Hi Jack,

I hope you'll recover very soon so that people can experience many more songs from the greatest bass-player in the world.

Thank you for all this fantastic music, you did in the last decades. I enjoy this music very much (although I'm quite young of age) and I'm especially happy about the 2003-release of your forgotten masterpiece "Jet Set Jewel".

Merry Christmas, a happy new year and get well soon

Jack,

First want to wish you a great strong recovery. G-d bless you. Trust you are well and want to thank you for all the great music, poetry and style over the years.

Been a fan of yours since "Hector was a pup." I finally got to see you up in Salem, New Hampshire with Ringo's All Star Band. Then at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire with Todd Rungren.

My prescription as you recover, put on a track of "As You Said" and relax. Man, that cello and those vocals.

Regards, Jack C. Bedford, New Hampshire

Dear Jack I was very sad to hear of your illness and am very glad to hear you are getting well. It is a fond memory that I hold of you jamming in the back of a van in front of Winterland before the show so many years back. Thanks for the memories and music that must bring tingles up my spine. Be well and please stay there.

It is truly inspirational to see that after such a long career, your music has a vitality and a message that is fresh and relevant. Best wishes to you and your family during this holiday season.

Dear Jack, I am so happy to hear that you are doing well in your recovery from surgery. As one who has a father fighting cancer I understand some of what you and your family must be going through. Good luck and stay strong. As a musician (bass, guitar, vocals) and composer I would like to thank you for giving so much GOOD music to all of us and for being an inspiration to me as a bassist and singer. I have always concdered your compositions to be unclassifiable in the best way. The greatest artists take their influences and create something new. In an industry that thrives on sameness, imitation and redundancy you have been a true original and have always remained foremost an ARTIST. P.S. My 17 year old son Michael,a fine young drummer, saw you perform with Ringo and thought you were awesome.He sends his good wishes also. We'll both be thinking of you the next time we play "White Room" together. Tom Birchler

Jack I don't know what i've been doing the last 6 months but I was unaware of your illness. Fond memories of cream days and also especially seeing you at Strathclyde Uni late seventies (and buying a curvets army? tape). I bought a cd today "Out of the storm" and liked most of it, played it to my son, 17 year old, and told him how good you were. I hope to listen more and hopefully those iffy ones grow on me. From experience the iffy one usually do grow into the best ones given a bit of listening. I Decided to find out about your recent music and found out about your illness, glad you are making good. I know life has its ups and downs and hope you are going through a high now. Take care. Have a great new year.

Dear Jack, I just found out about your situation on Leslie Wests website. Glad to hear you are doing well. I am a 49 yr old rock and roller with strong roots in England so I have been following your career from the start along with other English musicians such as John Mayall, Long John Baldry, etc. We never had the chance, living in South Florida, to see Cream. I did see West, Bruce, and Lang years ago. Believe you recorded a live album that night at Pirates World. Enough of that. Starting to sound like a groupie! Get well and come on through here again. Missed you with Ringo Starr. West, Bruce, and Lang. Now there is a reuinion. God Bless. Sincerely, js

I tried, at the time, to say how influential you have been to me as a musician. I am glad I have this chance now. You are part of the reason I am a musician, a big part. Thank you for that. Please keep making music. You have all of my best wishes for a speedy recovery, as well as for a safe and happy holiday season for you and yours. Thanks for everything. Peace, wraub.

Halleluja !!!!

I'm 52 yrs old, amateur bassist, and have been a fan of yours since Fresh Cream, when we were both young. Saw you Baltimore MD, (farewell concert), and in Boulder Colorado, Blue Note, 25 years ago (or so) !!!! Loved your solo albums after Cream.. you've been truly inspiring as a composer, musician, lyricist, and performer..

Thanks for the many moments and memories..

Hey Jack. Well I'm only 21 years old but my dads vinyl cream, and your solo records have added a scratchy, static sound to my ears that is far better than the music of my generation. For Christmas I got your solo album 'Songs for a Tailor' and it is amazing. Your music has always reminded me of Lord of the Rings for some reason. Anyway, take care and get well soon. Also if you are making christmas dinner could you email me some sprouts because my mums were dreadful. Peace!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the owner of a variety of genuinely unique talents, to be all the more prized in contemporary culture which reduces the art of popular music to aerobics.

Your mind do not want it,ignore it. I may go there whenever,but I want to ignore it too. I love my power and love. If I cant have it, I will go elsewhere. Just dont resignate. You will be you forever,even without your liver or nose. The nazis are powerless,even in your body. Nobody can fuck your being. Even if they sue you. You love love,love you!

Dear Jack,

I just learned the bass line for "Sunshine of Your Love" on Christmas Day. Here's hoping for a speedy return to top form for you.

Jack has had such an impact on my musical career. I've actually just heard about the surgery and his health issues surrounding that. My deepest get well wishes go out to you. I know what that's like, as I've been in a very similar circumstance myself a few years ago. Take care of yourself. Kelly.......

I am glad you are ok and would like to thank you for all the inspirations you have given me and the form of music. I would like to share something that might change your life. To Live means one day we must pass this life, where we go we are not certain, but if it means anything I would rather die knowing that I am saved through God's son and to fade away when nothings there, then to not have his salvation and to die and find out its true

Just a quick note to say to you and your family that your fans hear in Zhongshan, China ( believe me there are quite a few !) hope that you are well on the road to recovery and have had a wonderful Christmas. When you are back on your feet again and if you are ever planning more concerts please keep in mind your fans here in the PRC. We'll never forget all the great times we've had listening to your music and hope we'll soon be able to enjoy more moments of Jack Bruce magic.

All the best,

Jack,

I have been playing bass for over 40 years. My first bass was a Gibson EB-0, go figure. I have listened to you for almost that entire time and your style and music has been a constant source of inspiration and motivation.

Let’s make it another 40 years. Stay well

Regards,

Bruce Bradbury

Dear Jack: I am glad You are recovering,and in the healing process,I guess You have a ways to go.I had the privelege of seeing You and Ginger Baker,and Your band on December 8,1990.It was at the 23rd East caberet in Philadelphia,Pa.,USA. A gentleman named Bill Erwin who owns the Chestnut,Ambler and 23rd east cabaret's was kind enough to let me in,as I was underage.I was only 19 at the time.I really wanted to see You both,Your band,and Ginger and You,and You guys were beyond words,I really had a great time,and got Ginger's and Your autograph.(Picture of Ginger at a Blind faith concert).I hope You are doing well,and clean from drugs,as I remember seeing the spotlight hit Your forearm one time in the show,and all I had seen were trackmarks,and I almost cried.Jack,You're a good man,My Father died of drugs,and he was a drummer also,please clean Yourself up,I really respect You,and think You are a phenomenal entertainer. God Bless You,and Happy Holidays,Jack. Take Care

Dear Jack: I ear your music since 1971 (when I have 17 years old), in Chile we have only one radio where was possible to ear Cream "Radio Chilena" and "Rolling and Tumbling" exploited my brain. In this time I think that after Cream the music is over, ¿who can make new music after cream? nobody. I hope my best wishes for you ....y que te mejores pronto.

hi Jack, I just found out about your health, it was though a piece I read in "Progressive Ears". I hope this e-mail finds you on the road to recovery. I was a huge Cream fan, you were actually the first band i ever saw live. Baltimore Civic center, with Terry Reid and the Moody Blues. You've always been one of my favorite bass players, Percy Jones being the other. No one can lay down a landscape of sound like you and you have one of the best voices in rock. I'm listening to your new album as i write this, you just get better and better. I love your new rendition of "We're Going Wrong". "Harmony Row" is one of my all time favorites. What i'm ineptly trying to say is that you and your music means so much to me and i'm sure millions of others, so please get well soon. Randy

Hope your recovery is going well. You still have alot more to teach and contribute to the world music scene. Just got done watching The Fairwell Cream Concert on DVD. You have been my greatest influence. Keep playing the high notes.

Hello Jack, I wish you a swift recovery, I have played in many power trios and each one we have always performed Cream, Mountain and Hendrix tunes, one band we performed side two of Band of Gypsies, why they can,t play the good stuff on the radio I will never know, message of love always has and always will raise the hair on my ass, I think I have heard it on the radio once in my entire life, and if they ever played Spoonfull off wheels of fire on the radio I think I would go into a coma, hey Jack, I would cut my balls off and fry them in extra virgin olive oil and eat them in order to get a chance to play a tune with you some time, I stoped drinking and druging 8 years ago and my guitarist skills have tripled being sober, anyways if you get a chance to read this I hope all your medical test are all postive in your recovery, and if things keep improving with you and you did take me up on my offer to play with you I have to be honest with you and tell you that I would not cut off my balls, I am also being honest in telling you that I am damm good and you would not be disappointed. Right now I am working on a CD using pro tools and will be doing a very heavy and melodic arrangement of Nantucket Sleighride onto it along with my originals, I wish you the best and thank you so much for your very disciplined contribution to hard rock music over the years....Frank Bridges...
