Influences

Way too many to list… James Brown to BB King to Jimmy Paige and Mick Taylor to Dickie Betts to Vince Gill to George Benson. I generally try to go to the roots rather then the interpretations. I love the different ideas that come from the different cultures and how the styles and influences transcend each other. And have developed my own style which has influences from all.
I just love playing good music with good musicians. Don't care too much what it is as long as it's fun.. but I did mention- good musicians right? Please.
