Influences: I've been influenced by all types of music from rock&roll and R&B to Jazz and Big Band and of course Country music. I grew up listening to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Hank Williams Sr. & Jr. Merle Haggard, George Strait ,Eric Clapton, The Great Bob Wills, Asleep At The Wheel.... Ah heck,the list goes on and on. And though many of my favorite artist were before I was even born I give thanks to my parents for sharing their diverse collection of American music. Now I'm able to share and pass on the same great music with my kids. Today I enjoy mostly traditional country music along with Inspirational Country Music artist such as Del Way and James Payne,but I still love my Rock and Roll.
