Influences

Rarely missing a concert in the 70â??s, he attended some of the most legendary performances of our time, such as Pink Floyd (Animals), Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kansas, The James Gang with Tommy Bolin, and of course, Johnny Winter (numerous times). Paying particular attention to the guitarist during their performance, Dizzy was soon stealing licksâ?¦..from the cream of the crop! - Unaware that he would later share the stage, and become friends with many of these Rock Icons!

Dizzy has developed long standing friendships, and shared the stage performing with members of bands such as Heart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kansas, The Johnny Winter Band, Kiss, Kings X, Lightning Hopkins, Firefall, Spirit, Montrose, Point Blank, The Kentucky Headhunters, Asleep at the Wheel, Matchbox 20, and Black Label Society (to name a only a few). He has also had the honor of playing with artists such as Travis Tritt, Aaron Tippen, Lance Keltner, Bugs Henderson, Doyle Bramhall, Sr., Matt Smith, Kirby Kelly, Joe Ely, as well as good friend, and legendary guitar guru, Seymour Duncan
