But now that I'm here in Nashville, let me tell you who influences me, John Long, Grant ('boutright) Boatright, Boomer Castleman, Tony Lane, Bill Holmes, Rick Klang, Jimmy Payne, Mack Elliot, Doug Wooley, Ed Coffee, Danny Simmons (Rest Well My Friend) and then the tens of thousand struggling songwriters who deserve more than they receive. You may not know any of the last group of names, and the full list would be endless, but, you ougtta know 'em all.

Sounds Like: 'TOAST' As a 30+ year songwriting veteran, I have learned over the years to take each moment and run with the idea. In other words, each moment has never been linked to any specific jenre' of music. The influences I list evidence the variety of musical interests I have. My thanks to all my influences, family and friends for their never ending aid in helping me create the portraits of my life for all the world to see.
