Influences
Where we come from often doesn't equate to where we're heading musically so influences can distract from a potential collaboration, it's easy to assume that a player will only want to mimic their influences.
Over the decades I've played in many musical genres. Growing up 60'rock and blues is what I learned on, but my influences were many; Zepplin, Floyd, Beatles, Allman Bros, Yes, Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin, King Crimson, Brian Eno, Roxy music, Steve Roach, Rock in general, R&B, Motown, Funk, New Wave, Alternative, etc... lot's of great music out there if it's good I want to hear it, I'll give anything a try.
