Influences: "I would like to be known not for the heights I have reached, but for the depths from which I have risen"--Connie Francis----------
My very early music absorption was fed by my brothers who played air guitar to their favorites; The Beatles--White Album and Abby Road, Steppenwolf, Led Zepplin, The Guess Who, Doobie Brothers, Moody Blues. Years later, I latched onto The Eagles, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel, Crosby Still and Nash, Linda Rondstat, Barry Manilow, Neil Young, America, Seals and Croft, Chicago. Okay--pretty much all of the 70’s classic rock artists!
But also, George Benson, Earth, Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder... and I admittedly, became fanatical about 70s disco. The 80’s? Ummm, let’s skip to the 90s. I went through my metal phase then--loved the Seattle sound; Queensryche, Sound Garden, Alice in Chains. And also became a devout Sting and Annie Lennox fan, up to this very minute. What turns me on now? Going back to my mother’s country music influence, and my talented fellow indie/singer/songwriters. There’s so many of us out here!
BTW, kuddos to the bucco talent I hear coming from England. I love the 12 Bar Club!
Sounds Like: Been told that I liken to some pretty tall orders--Linda Ronstadt, Dusty Springfield, Annie Lenox, Faith Hill, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Laura Nero. My favorite--DOLLY PARTON!?!
