AFTER SURVIVING WOODSTOCK AND DISCO I GREW FOND OF COUNTRY MUSIC IN THE 1970’S. PLAYING A VARIETY OF MUSIC STYLES HAS GIVEN ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A MUSIC STYLE THAT HAS A TOUCH OF COUNTRY,A TOUCH
OF ROCK, WITH A TOUCH OF BLUES, AND A SAMPLE OF BLUEGRASS, AND WHEN YOU THROW IN A TOUCH OF RHYTHM FROM THE THE ISLANDS, YOU ARRIVE AT A MUSIC STYLE THAT IS WHAT I AM.

HARMONICA HAS BECOME MY PASSION TO ACHIEVE A PLAYING STYLE THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHERS. MY INFLUENCES WHEN I BEGAN WERE ARTISTS SUCH AS: PAUL BUTTERFIELD, CHARLIE MCCOY, STEVIE WONDER, BUDDY GREENE, TOOTS THEILMAN, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.

IN THE MUSIC I WRITE YOU WILL HEAR STORIES PUT TO MUSIC THAT MANY ARE A REAL EXPERIENCE THAT I MAY HAVE HAD GROWING UP. ROAD STORIES THAT HAPPENED, HEARTACHES THAT HAPPENED, WONDERFUL TIMES THAT MAKE MUSIC ALL WORTH WHILE.

I WOULD HAVE TO THANK: HANK WILLIAMS, MARTY ROBBINS, BOB WILLS, WAYLON AND WILLIE, SANTANA, THE DOORS, CHICAGO, ROLLING STONES, THE BEATLES, LOWELL GEORGE, TOY CALDWELL, JOHNNY CASH, BLUES ARTISTS TO MANY TO NAME, FOR INFLUENCING MY MUSIC STYLE.

I HOPE EVERYONE CAN FIND SOMETHING THEY CAN ENJOY IN ONE OR MORE OF MY SONGS, AND THE SONGS CAN BE AN INSPIRATION TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AND TELL YOUR STORIES.
