As a guitar player I was influenced by Duane Allman and Jeff Beck. My first album is a collaboration of songs I've had in my head since the eighties. It incorporates jazz, folk and rock It's more alternative than pop/rock. The song "some kind of weather' was influenced by the album Heavy Weather. Jack Johnson influenced the song "I don't know why'. And of course Jerry Garcia influenced the song "Baby tie your shoes Up". The Title "Old Friends" and the single, goes out to all my buddies along the way, I love you all.
