Influences: BB to Verdi - The Blues was the first thing I heard as a kid. All the great guitar players have been an influence in that they provided inspiration to pursue the art form. BB King, Freddie King and Eric Clapton inspired my love of the blues and my style of playing. Andres Segovia, Christopher Parkening, Elliot Fisk inspired my love of classical guitar and showed me the incredible depth and nuance the instrument can express without the need of amplifiers and effects pedals. I love Italian opera for the beautiful melodies and the great drama and emotion expressed in the music. Antonio Carlos Jobim, Paulo Bellinati, Carlos Barbosa Lima & the world of Brazilian music opened up an new world of playing the instrument. Whilte all may be influences to some degree, ultimately, I am blues guitar player, and that is what I do.
