Influences
Jerry Garcia, Elvis Costello... that really leaves nothing out by extension.
My first record was a Longines Symphonette collection of big bands, my next was a Smithsonian collection of Cowboy songs for kids...
My first purchase were Commander Cody Lost in the Ozone, Grateful Dead ("Skull and Roses"), and Davie Bowie "Man Who Sold the World." Around that time my sister gave me Deep Purple "Machine Head" trying to stop me form buying Made in Japan, but I bought it anyway.
