Influences
Influences? Just about everyone I ever heard and liked. 50 years worth of good stuff, from Gary U.S. Bonds to Enigma and everything in between. Some of my stuff is pretty standard while retaining originality, but I want to go a few levels higher with help from some friends. I'm not a cover artist; I arrange everything. I prefer to listen to the inner soundtrack and try to interpret that in order to share a higher form of music.
