Influences
Music is a great art! I love it all. I was raised on 33's, grew up on cassettes, and matured on CD's. Now, I age on MP3's and Wave files.
My favorite media is the live show. Performng is one of the best things in my life. I believe that performing live music is GRACE. I am lucky to have the acoustic guitar in my life along with my wonderful friends that jam with me. The music that influences me most is that which is passionate and intelligent. I love singer/songwriters like Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, and Jamie Cullum. Classic Rock, Jazz, Folk, Classical Music, Ethnic, World, New Rock, Alternative, Non-Gansta-Hip Hop, and etc... Its all expression. I am not too keen on the Make-A-Star-Kiddie-Pop that has come out in the last few years, but hey, whatever. I even like cover bands. I like to see and hear musicians that care about thier performance. I want my bands to be INTO what they are doing. A saying we like to use in my band is, "No Duds!"
Meaning... We love to jam! It is our passion. If you like music that comes from the heart and the soul, as well as the mind. Check out AC&Co.
Keep on rocking!

Wow, Andy I love "Your Return" your vocals are awesome on it. Good job sweetie! Sorry I missed you when I breezed through the Springs a couple of weeks ago. I had about a day and 1/4 at my brothers, it was a great visit. You guys sound really good on here & I do love the newest one. Hugs
Mr. Clifton!! Hey buddy. All is well here in the Bluegrass bro. Good to hear from you man and hope all is going well with you! Have a great Thanksgiving brother and take care!!
Ok I might have to break down & come up there just to get some relief from this heat. We've had over 31 days of weather over 100 degrees this year......I think I'm wilting away, lol. Peace, Lori
Coffee is so righteous, especially when you gotta poop. Thanks for the kind words! I'm doing swimmigly, just talking to folks and designing fliers. When are ya'll playing in town next?
