Influences
I'D HAVE TO SAY THAT MY EARLY MUSICAL INFLUENCES WERE ALL PRE ROCK AND ROLL. MY MOTHER HAD A COLLECTION OF 78RPM RECORDS AND WE HAD AN OLD WIND UP RECORD PLAYER THAT I COULD OPERATE. SO WHEN I WAS JUST A TINY LAD I WAS HEARING HER RECORDS OF PERRY COMO, BING CROSBY, TERESA BREWER, FRANKIE CARLE AND HIS HONKY TONK PIANO,EDDIE FISHER, DINAH SHORE AND DOZENS OF OTHERS. I WAS FASCINATED WITH THE WAY RECORDS SEEMED TO "FREEZE TIME". AROUND THE AGE OF KINDERGARTEN I HAD ALREADY ABSORBED THAT VIBE OF "RECORDS APPROACHING IMMORTALITY"...A LITTLE BIT OF LIFE WAS CAPTURED FOREVER IN THAT TWO AND A HALF MINUTES. I REMEMBER VIVIDLY WHEN ELVIS PRESLEY HIT...IT WAS LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF. I HAD A 78 OF "HOUND DOG B/W DON'T BE CRUEL". IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST RECORDS I OWNED MYSELF. I ALWAYS LOVED FATS DOMINO AND GENE VINCENT. A BIT OF JERRY LEE AS WELL. THEN CAME PEOPLE WHO BLEW ME AWAY, SUCH AS SAM COOKE, BOBBY DARIN, AND JACKIE WILSON. I LIKED ALL KINDS OF RECORDS. "ONCE IN A WHILE" BY THE CHIMES STANDS OUT IN MY HEAD, AND "ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK A HEART" BY GENE PITNEY. THEN A BIT LATER....THE BEATLES....THEY DRASTICALLY CHANGED THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND THE OTHER GUYS IN THE DEVERONS. EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE BEATLES CAME ALONG. THE SONGS WERE FRESH AND DIFFERENT...AND THERE WERE TONS OF THEM. I'LL MENTION OTHER INFLUENCES IN GREATER DETAIL IN SUBSEQUENT POSTINGS.
Sounds Like
PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME FOR YEARS THAT I DON'T SOUND LIKE ANYONE ELSE. THAT'S THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT I'VE EVER BEEN GIVEN AS A SINGER.
