Influences: I was "hooked" at a very young age, listening to the radio when my parents thought I was asleep - That's kind of a cliche, but it is the truth. Neither of my parents were musically inclined but, they were tolerant and supportive allowing me to take lessons on about every instrument known to man until I finally discovered that the electric guitar and bass had volume knobs. My Father was a huge Lawrence Welk fan so we made the trip from Santa Barbara to Santa Monica several times to see his show live. My Mother owned a small restaurant and I got to meet quite a few of the traveling bands and would sometimes try to entertain them by playing the wooden spoons to whatever was on the jukebox when they would stop in for a little Home Cookin'. For awhile, the family lived directly across the street from "King's Supper Club" and I used to sit on the porch and listen to the bands, and watch as, ocassionally, the party would spill out into the street. Influences, oh yeah, lots of them, from big bands to rockabilly to Rhythm & Blues to early Rock'n'Roll, music was something I just couldn't get out of my head.
