Influences

Have a very wide taste in music, found having sung both full time and part time it has helped to be versatile. I am very much a singer first, guitarist second.
Early guitarist influences:- Mike Bloomfield of the Paul Butterflield Blues Band, Clapton, Green & Hendrix, most late 60's and early 70's rock bands - love Country and Blues - 3 Kings, Robert Johnson & Muddy Waters.
The feast of great vocalists I have been lucky enough to experience have shaped my musical career, I have covered so many songs and like to think I did a good job with most :-)
Everly Brothers (who I worked for in the early 70's and really impressed me), Drifters, The Temptations, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Paul Rodgers, Roger Chapman, Robert Plant, Rod Stewart and Peter Green, who was a great vocalist as well as a magnificent guitarist.
Early band influences were: The Eagles, Steely Dan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Average White Band and The Doobie Brothers.
As I said earlier flexibility has always proven to be important.
