'It
was great sadness that I heard about the great
John Baldry's passing. Please accept my
condolences. He helped to launch some incredible
musical careers, as well as having one himself.
Well, as Mr. Baldry so aptly put it, "Don't try
to lay no Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and
Roll". And in heaven, they won't. May he rest
in peace.'

'Frank, I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
John did great and important work and left fans
all over the world. As I have said many times, two
of the best ten shows I have ever seen were his.
Again, I am sad for your loss. Go in peace my
friend.'

'Although
I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, I
feel like he was no stranger. You don’t hear the music
of a person like Long John for decades without getting
some sense of his beauty as a person. On behalf of
everyone who was enriched by the fruits of his life,
please accept my personal condolences for the loss of
your friend and pass them along to the other friends and
family of Mr. Baldry. To the spirit of John
William Baldry, I’d like to say,
“Thank you, Long John, for the gifts that you so
generously shared with us. Although the world is a
darker place in your absence, your light will continue
to shine in the hearts of everyone who was fortunate
enough to know you personally and all who hear your
music. Let us all join in and sing along with you:
'Ain’t
It Good to Be Alive!' For us, you will live forever.
As I’ve had to say about too many good people over the
years: 'Long John ain't dead, he's
only a-sleeping, Patiently waiting for Jesus to
come.'

'I send my
sorrows to you.. there are no right words to say when a
Legend leaves this world. We all grieve in different
ways...All that i can say is "Sorry for your
lost"...Another Angel in The Lords Band...he needed a
BluesMan...to stand next to the rest of them. My heart
goes out to his family. Go with God John Baldry.'

'Please pass on my condolences to the family of Long
John Baldry. I met John in Peterborough,
Ontario many years ago and have been a fan ever
since. His music was the music I loved. When John was
talking with me, he wasn't some big rock star talking to
a lowly fan, but an ordinary bloke who had feelings and
ideas just like myself. He was polite and mannerly and a
gentleman. Again, please pass on my condolences to the
family.'
