hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
There's also a negative side." ~~Hunter S. Thompson~~

Wray, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Dale Hawkins. All of the Classical music that I grew on in the house when I was a kid. All of the Big Band Swing music that was played in the house when I was young, right down to the cheesy Sci-Fi sound tracks from the 50's and 60's that I still LOVE today.
Pretty much everything I've ever listened to! It's all been in some way assimilated into what I try to play, or at least hear in my head.
