Influences

Early Motown, Stax, James Brown and R&B recordings. Then came the Beatles and the English music invasion. Later the Allman Brothers, Heavy Metal and eventually Eric Clapton. But when I discovered 50s Rock & Roll later in life it became a real passion. From there I started recording with a lot of people in local studios and NY. Eventually writing my own songs and getting a distribution deal. I wasn't into Disco at all but now that I'm in a cover band we play quite a bit of it, and I do like it. I play clean and crisp these days as the Marshall/Ampeg stacks are in the past.
