SEEKING

ABOUT

I've been creating ORIGINAL music for a couple of years now. Started playing when I was 12 or so. I write poetry and sing as well. I am sorta "do it all yourself" kind of guy. I got tired of working with wannabe musicians and rock stars...whatever that is.

Influences

OK so I started listening to "real" country music growing up *Great Grandparents Raised me* at that time I also listened to Big Band, Jazz, Classical, and Rock n Roll from the 50's. I always listening to Native American music *it's in the blood* Then I moved through the 60's, got more into blues, then 70's. I don't listen to much music from there on up. I do but it's not a conscience influence. I love world music as well.

I dig Dylan, Cream, Blind Faith, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Arlo Gunthrie, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, The Rat Pack, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bill Miller, oh and a bunch of others. Hendrix, gotta add him though I do not emulate him. I like to listen only, thank you very much. If it is quality I'll listen to about anything, at lest once haha.
