Influences: "Aren't we influenced by our personal connections to musicians, directors, producers first?"says Audrey.
I owe a foundation of gratitude to Stephen J. Ortlip of Callenwolde, Glenn E. Halsey of Dekalb's Young Artists, Bryan Cook with Is Ought Gap and the Hindu Love Gods, not to mention Time Toy.
Add Jordan Dayan, Joey Mayes and Manu Combetti who is the distinct Martinique. Doo Blan Tant's Robbie Collins and Sam Mixon make me dance. Linda Stipe, too. Yes, Athens music scene... as much as I hid from this fact for so long, as well as Indigo (Atlanta home)Girls, Emily and Amy Ray.
There are rock classics, introduced by people I love.That's how it's been: Heart, Hendrix, Beatles, Bowie, Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Stevie Wonder,. Thanks David Dylan Cates of This Future for insisting on The Who, The Cure, New Order, Bauhaus, even CrAss and the Cramps. Through them, I found Xene Cervenka,Kate Bush, Annie Lenox, Janis Joplin.
Sid Barrett and DeWitt Williams, I thank you for your hospitality. Brian Hienbaugh, Deb Murphy and Curt Piper ARE the Dragon Fly of my summer of discontent on the "heals" of the Liquid Bean scene.
Bob Montague could probably dig up some old tracks and collaborations. Thanks for the Jazz expansions into Miles, Monk, Mingus, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald,Coletrain, Robbie Robertson and back home to Tom Price's World Congress Choir and various enesembles with my Baha'i Family.
Here we found Dizzy Guillespie and sang prayers together for his healing on the eve of his Carnegie Hall tribute. The music is worldwide from there. We must include Reggie Colebert's Atlanta Baha'i Gospel Choir and Kingsley and Suzanne Swan's New World Unity Ensemble and both of these organizations' works at the MLK Center for Social Change as well as the various Race Unity Day projects and United Nations celebrations.
Keep reading below 'cuz I know my man has a list of his own. I'll let him tell you about Space Seed and the lovely queen of the Mississippi, an entity in and of herself, crowned in crescent diadem New Orleans, Louisiana.
