Need a Guitar Player or Producer for Your Next Session or Gig? I Might Be Able To Help
"My Main influences on a short list would have been more contemporary players like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Winters, Steve Miller,Duane Allman, Lowell George, Mark Knopfler, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, BB King, Freddie King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Peter Green...
Oh the list is endless...This is just a short list...
Eric Clapton was entry level into rock and blues...
I think every contemporary guitar player has gone through Eric to find themselves... Oh Yeah then there was this guy...
Another guy who really got to me was Rory Gallagher...
I ran across his "Live in Europe" and bought it just because of the cover...
I thought to myself, man you must really play hard to knock the finish off of your guitar...I was right...
Other Influences...
Songwriters like Woodie Guthrie, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springteen, Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, George Jones, Tom Waits...
Actually my criteria is real simple, If you have something meaningful to say I will listen period...
I like songs that say something...tell a story...a good story...
One of my hobbies is building vintage relic guitars...
Neye Benziyor?
Bob Dylan Bruce Springsteen Tom Petty Stevie Ray Vaughn Johnny Winter Eric Clapton John Mellancamp Ray Davies The Kinks Dire Straits Rory Gallagher probably more will come to mind later

Patience and Compassion In The Tao’ Te Ching it is said,
I have just three things to teach: Simplicity, patience, and compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in thought, You return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, You accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, You reconcile all beings in the world.
We carry with us the habits of a lifetime. We are not asked to Unravel them all in one instant, but to care for and understand just one moment at a Time; attuning ourselves to just this moment we begin to understand what leads To distress, complexity, and conflict, and what leads to calmness, balance and freedom.
Patience is the foundation of discovering simplicity. Patience is a gesture of profound Kindness. Patience teaches us to seek an inner refuge of simplicity, balance, and sensitivity in even the most turbulent moments.
you are a very sexy man... i shall fall asleep tonight listening to your voice....dont care if it pisses off your mouth harp...you make my feel funny feel funny...
Hello Richard, just thought I will sent your way a little heart sunshine to wish you a lovely week. I hope, you feel fine and you have a wonderful time with your music. Good Luck in all that you do !!! With a dose of positive vibes Heidi
