Influences
I am influenced by great songwriters of many genres. I enjoy great melody and great lyrics. At times I enjoy nonsense lyrics, but prefer to sing and play a song that evokes emotion. Some examples are Paul McCartney and the Beatles, great songs from the Great American Songbook. I can sing the styles McCartney, Tony Bennett, Freddie Mercury (changing the key of course), and others. I am selective about what songs I will sing and those that I won't.
