Band Members: BABY DOLL, (THAT'S ME) WROTE THE LYRICS AND MUSIC FOR ALL THE SONGS. I HAD ALOT OF HELP RECORDING FROM SOME GREAT LOCAL MUSICANS, MOST OF WHOM I HAVE PLAYED WITH IN A BAND AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. JIMMY CLARK, AN OLD AND DEAR FRIEND DID ALL OF THE GUITAR ON THESE SONGS, ACOUSTIC, LEAD AND EVEN BASS ON ONE OR TWO. HE ALSO DID BACK UP VOCALS ON A FEW SONGS. MY SON ADAM AND BROTHER-IN-LAW ED DID AN AWESOME JOB ON DRUMS AND CONGAS! WAYNE CADRAIN, WHO HAS SINCE PASSED AWAY PLAYED HARMONICA ON A COUPLE OF TUNES. I PLAY PIANO, BASS ON THE PIANO AND SING THE VOCALS. LASTLY I WANT TO MENTION CLARK CREATIVE RECORDING STUDIO IN MILFORD NH AND MIKE CLARK FOR HIS PATIENCE AND A GREAT JOB. WHEN I CHANGE SONGS OR ADD THEM FROM TIME TO TIME I WILL MENTION THE OTHER MUSICANS WHO RECORDED WITH ME IN THE STUDIO.
Influences: I LOVE ALL TYPES OF MUSIC, ESPECIALLY BLUES. THERE IS REALLY NO PARTICULAR INFLUENCE ON WHAT I WRITE, BECAUSE I WRITE FOR ALL OCCASSIONS AND/OR EMOTIONS. I ALMOST NEVER WRITE ABOUT PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. I GUESS I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT FIRST OF ALL MY MOM AND DAD INFLUENCED ME THE MOST. MY DAD ALMOST CAME BEFORE BING CROSBY (WHO WAS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT ALL THAT) AND GAVE UP HIS CAREER TO TAKE OVER HIS DAD'S BUSINESS. MY MOM WAS A GREAT SINGER AND WOUND UP BEING A MISS MIAMI, MISS FLORIDA AND A RUNNER UP IN THE MISS USA PAGENT BECAUSE OF HER BEAUTY AND HER VOICE. I GUESS GROWING UP LISTENING TO THEIR MUSIC AND LEARNING TO PLAY IT ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER MUSIC OUT THERE DURING THE 70'S, 80'S AND 90'S HAS ALSO INFLUENCED ME A LITTLE. MOSTLY I TRY TO KEEP MY SONGS UNIQUE AND LYRICS FAMILIAR WITH LIFE'S DAY TO DAY SITUATIONS. LEARNING TO PLAY PIANO BY EAR AT FIVE YEARS OLD HAS ALSO HELPED ALOT. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS NOT HAVING ENOUGH MONEY TO RECORD ALL MY SONGS AND SECONDLY FINDING THE RIGHT ARTIST FOR ANY GIVEN SONG. ALL IN ALL, I GUESS MY VIEWERS WILL BE MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE, BECAUSE HOPEFULLY THEY WILL LET ME KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY LIKE WHAT THEY HEAR.
