| | Well.........who was it guys? I'd be one to assume that Bill's Influence would Be Buddy Guy or The Great BB King? LOL........Sry if I took the fun out of it for ya Bill! Mine would have to be the Late Great Dimebag Darrel from Pantera! I actually had the chance to Party with Him,Man he was just as awesome to sit and chat with as he was to hear play. Unfortunately he was taken by a Jealous Crybaby with a Gun! Another one would have to be Kirk Hammet, and definately Randy Rhoads and Zakk Wylde! Have met Kirk and Zakk too! Randy,he hangin out in the clouds with brohter Dime! |

| My influences to play guitar are a lot deeper than the 2 mentioned. One of my friend's Mom was the best flat top picker I ever heard, and her Dad was a banjo player. They were inducted into the Blue Grass Hall of Fame a few years back. Also David Crosby, and Stephen Stills, Phil Ochs, and a host of other acoustic players. I used to only play fingerstyle picking all through High School and into my late 30s until I just couldn't do it anymore. But I have always had a wide love of all music and I was classically trained on the piano for 12 years as a child. The blues was just a natural evolution for me from gospel and bluegrass, while everyone was listening to the atypical 60s music I was listening to "race music" as they called it. So my influences also include Son House, Elmore James, Honeyboy Edwards, Robert Johnson, Robert Lockwood Jr, and all all these other cats that not many white boys growin' up in the 60s listened to. Like one of my T shirts says "THE BLUES HAD A BABY AND THEY NAMED IT ROCK N ROLL" One of my biggest "rock" influences was Carlos Santana, back in his early days, he fused the blues and rock like no one else did including Hendrix. But then he went commercial...oh well.

| | Mike Portnoy influences me as a drummer, just watching him makes me wanna become like that. For guitar... not sure. I've heard fingerstyle guitarists but I cannot remember their names. But everytime I hear acoustic, I'm inspired to play.
