There are so many - Sheryl Crow, REM, The Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, and John Gorka for starters. Local musicians or friends who have inspired or influenced me include Rob Lytle, Heidi Longauer, Alex Bevan, Dale Galgozy, and Dave Howard. I get a lot of influence from writers and mentors including but not limited to - Susann Cook-Greuter, James Joyce, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Ken Wilber. Finally I get enormous inspiration from comedians - Julia Sweeney is my favorite.
