Influences
As a bassist, Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones, and John Entwistle were probably my three biggest influences. I grew up in the late 70's early 80's - Foreigner, Rush, REO, AC/DC, Zeppelin, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Springsteen, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Styx, and most other bands of that era have filtered into my playing. I fell in love with the blues in my late 20's and played with a blues band for almost 20 years, so SRV, Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, BB King, and many other blues icons have influenced my playing as well.
