Influences:

A special thank-you goes out to all the people in my life who have taught me how to play, how to read music, how to feel music, and everyone who has shared their musical ideas with me. Without you I could not be where I am today and doing what I love. These are not in any specific order...

First, I will give honorable mention to the teachers from my early childhood whose names I cannot recall except Tatyana from Russia, who taught me at the Carroll College in Waukesha, WI when I was 10.

To start naming the ones I've met in MI, where I live and elsewhere... Victor Kahn, Ian McConnell, Dave Thompson, Matt Ruffino, Eric McDonald, Joel Choate, Nick Weiser, Myles Nakamura, and Adam, Rob, and Bubs from the Hubies...Quinn, Ben, and Chris from the Karma Yoga Band...Mike, Pat, and Jan from the Bittersweet Band...Paul, Terry, and Carl from the Thunder Run Band....just to name a few of the people and groups that have done musical experimentation with me...Thank-you all and the ones that I may have missed.

--John Wappelhorst
