Ok, recognize that I've kinda been put on the spot here. Let's see I started playing cello with my school orchestra when I was 9. I had had a lot of classical influence at home prior to my immersion in school but until then I had never played an instrument other than fooling around on my dad's piano. My dad really had a lot to do with shaping my earlier experiences with music. He took me to my first concert when I was 5, Bonnie Raitt. From him I heard a lot of classical music and a lot of New Orleans bands like The Meters, Papa Grows Funk, and The Radiators. When I was 4 or 5 I was watching Predator with my dad when the moustachioed hick with the machine gun played "Long Tall Sally" on his huge boom box - that's when I caught the boogie woogie. Middle school: punk rock, Green Day. Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr. came later. In high school I got really into the Chicago blues and 60s/70s rock. Real "Dazed and Confused." Perfect soundtrack to high school. In college I discovered a compatibility between myself and a lot of rock from the 80s and 90s, lots of blues from the Delta, and new music as well. See below
