Influences:
There has been comparisons with Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin over many years but
the real influence is actually Bach ( as in Johann Sebastian ).
Classical composers Wagner, Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart of course. A musician
could spend a lifetime just exloring and mastering just one of the four.
As for rock, it was Cream, The Who and Jimi Hendrix that lit that fire for
music. Beck Bogert and Appice had some great 3 piece stuff to learn from too. No
claim to be a real traditional blues player.
Have always worked with a keys player, currently Jeff Morris. So the mix of
classical and hard rock influences are always there.
As for drummers, Ian Paice, Carmine Appice, Mitch Mitchell, Simon Kirke and John
Bonham.
Have played and jammed with so many people.. all of them kinda rub off.
Would like to thank people for the emails and contacts.
Every friend is an influence really ... and that's how it should be..
It's all about the music ...
So many good contacts from good people all around the world .. every continent
covered at last count I believe?....
thanks very much ....
