My parents, my children, and any person who has the guts to go out and pursue their passion....whatever that may be. I find following someone in the act of pursuing their passion to be very influencial. There's magic there if you watch, and it inspires and fuels me. My musical influences are many and a wide variety of styles. I'm not a music snob....if I like it, I like it........ Martina, Sara, Faith, Sugarland, Sheryl Crow, Jill Jack, Bonnie Raitt, Winona, Gretchen, Brooks & Dunn, the Muzic Mafia crew (can we join?)Meryl, Willie, Tobie, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Keith Urban, Tom Petty, Dolly Parton, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Dianna Ross, Marvin, Bruce, U2, Frank, the Killers, Mary J., and of course Steven Tyler and Aerosmith.

Wolves remain one of the most highly misunderstood creatures, and the myths abound of just what this feared predator is truly all about. Ask two different people and you usually get two different answers. I don't think people connect with any wild animal, and wish to help protect them in the their natural habitat, unless they also make an emotional connection to the natural wild lands, in which those wild animals reside. We all have paths to trek, and journeys that we either choose, or choose us.
I think you get a amazing future in front of you with your music, because you have a amazing, beautiful and wonderful song voice and you have real good and amazing songs and I wish you all the best with your music and your future with music in years forward:)
Have a great week and I wish you a fantastic and a great music year in 2010:)
If you don't have a smile, I'll give you one of mine. In trying to get our own way, we should remember that kisses are sweeter than whine. So let`s kiss....
Thank you for your laughs & smiles, your dreams, your hopes, your
friendship...seasons greetings & blessings to you, yours & all...with love and respect...Bruce
