My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/16/2007
Band Members: --------------------------------------Huntsville , AlabamaJD and The Bad Boys-------(JD) JEFF STEPHENS (Lead Guitar and lead vocals) http://www.myspace.com/jdandthebadboys1Tim Pearl Lead Guitar and VocalsGeorge Seaton Drums and Vocals (formerly Played for Hank Jr 1983 and Razzy Bailey many years)
Influences: Thanks to my friend Dean Harrington, (Mylon Lefevre & Broken Heart and Sacred Fire) for teaching me how to play bass in a real studio, my brother Bob for teaching me the guitar, and my friend TJ Barrett for teaching me about music, how to be a friend, and for all the great times we had out playing in bands. My time in Atlanta, Georgia, all the great musicians I had the opportunity to work with, including and especially Stan Coates also one of Mylon's main co-writers and the man on the keyboards that gave Broken Heart their great sound, Leslie (Sam) Phillips, Benny Hester, Herb Moon (Where are you brother?), and my lifelong friends Jimi Bennett, lead singer for Viktor, and Steve Horrell back in North Carolina, master of the guitar. My interest in the bass guitar began at an early age, as I grew up listening to Paul McCartney and The Beatles. Musicians and bassists I admire are Dave Hope, Kerry Livgren, Charlie Daniels, Tommy Crain, Charlie Hayward, Leon Wilkeson, Tommy Caldwell, Paul Goddard, Chris Squire, Chet Atkins, Edward Van Halen, Michael Anthony, Sting, Flea, Duck Dunn, John Entwhistle, Jaco, Jackie Street, Milt Hinton, Berry Oakley, Chuck Rainey, Willie Dixon, Nathan East, the list goes on... all the great blues bass players, my friend and best man Roger Lowe, one of the most talented and creative musicians you probably never heard of, (yet) and my friend Larry Rust, (Owen Avenue Film Music and keyboardist for Iron Butterfly) a great musician and a man of courage and inspiration.
