Influences: It started with this guy...
...and his buddies...Funny, but I'm really such a bass and drums guy rather than a guitar guy! So I guess this means very few influences on guitar...First and foremost, from KISS, Ace Frehley! Others influencing me along the way, past and present are Richie Kotzen, John Petrucci, George Benson, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Greg Howe, Paul Gilbert, Michael "Kid Funkadelic" Hampton, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Eric Essix. And on bass... Larry Graham, Marcus Miller, Geddy Lee. Drums... Dennis Chambers, Neil Peart, Dave Lombardo, Stewart Copeland. Keys... Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Bernie Worrell, Martin Gore. Vocally there are many but my favs are Brian McKnight, Chaka Khan, George Benson, Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), Daryl Hall (Hall&Oates), George Clinton, James Brown, Teena Marie, Marvin Gaye, Steve Perry (Journey), David Gahan (Depeche Mode), Michael Sweet (Stryper), Chuck Schuldiner (Death), David Pack (Ambrosia).
Also, and very importantly, a sincere thanks to a few of the brilliant guitarists and other extraordinary musicians I know and have been influenced by, here in Las Vegas... Lonnie Motley, Aaron Harris, Earl Turner, Stoney Curtis, Jeff Ray, Earl Campbell, Carnell Upchurch, Damon Bartlett, Dana Chaunte, Paul Gregory and Las Vegas bands such as N.E.O., Area 51, Rhythm Nation, Vision, Doja and others.
