Stevie Wonder, Rolling Stones, Police, Dave Mathews, Radio Head, Lenny Kravitz and Elvis Costello are the first that come to mind. The list could be never ending since life is a constant influence and inspiration. But I can't forget Sheryl Crow, Led Zepplin, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson,
Bjork (& Sugar Cubes), Black Crowes, Sly & The Family Stone, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, Ani De Franco, U2, and Bob Marley. These are listed in no particular order and I'm sure the list will grow the more I think about it.
I would also like to say that some of the biggest influences I've had are the amazing musicians that I've been fortunate enough to play with. So, Thanks a lot guys:)

May your heart speak clearly on the things that it knows. On the edge of dreaming thats When the brain lets go. Have a week filled with beautiful dreams. XX~
On The Edge Of Dreaming
On the edge of dreaming
When the brain lets go
When it stops its scheming
And the blood runs slow
Then the heart speaks clearly
Of the things it knows
Things it bought so dearly
At the evening's close
Will the wine keep flowing
When the kissing stops?
Will the love keep growing
When the blossom drops?
In the clear light's dawning
On the edge of day
Dare we tell the morning
What the heart can't say?

Much Love Always Anita
