Influences
What isn't an influence? Folk, rock, blues, jazz from Dixieland to bebop to standards to smooth. Manhattan Transfer. Beatles. WAR. Admire harmonica players Toots Thielemans and Lee Oskar and Christelle Berthon and Howard Levy, but don't sound like any of them. Can't play on their level, but make listeners' jaws drop sometimes all the same.
EQUIPMENT
Full set of harps, selected chromatics. Soon will invest in mike, mikestand and amp.
