Influences: there was a lot of music goin on in my house as i was growing up. Artists like Sergio Franchi,Jerry Vale,The Harmonicats,Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass,
Tommy Dorsey, you get the picture.
In the summer of 1975 my brother took me to see Cheech and Chong. Little did i know walking in that door at the convention center in Asbury Park NJ, that it would change my musical outlook for the rest of my days. As i read the ticket I saw the opening act was a band called Muddy Waters.
Who was this band? I wanted to see Cheech and Chong. I was 15 years old and ready to be influenced. Well This Muddy Waters Band just blew my mind.
Watching Muddy lead the band thru the show and listening to that powerfull voice, the interaction between Muddy and the band, and the people in the audience were goin nuts!!! This was it. This is what i wanted to do. Play that groove music. you have to understand, Muddy was not as known then as he was just a few years later. i wanted to know all i could about this guy and his peers. That was 32 years ago. I still love the Groove Music.
