Steely Dan, Ambrosia, Crack the Sky, 10cc, Toto, Alan Parsons Project, Heart, Styx, Kansas, ELO, Trapeze, Peter Frampton, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Brian Wilson, and much more. Classical/world: Shakti, John McLaughlin, Mozart, Bach, Wagner, Britten, Frank Zappa ...and more of these as well.
It doesn't really sound like anyone else. The sound/writing is pretty original, but if it HAS to be compared to someone elses music, then :vocally... Eva Cassidy, Ann Wilson, Evanescence; musically... a touch of Steely Dan.
With more than 25 years experience in performing music, I was originally self taught then classically trained. Having studied music at McNeese State University from 1987-1996, I concentrated in Vocal Education and Jazz & Commercial Guitar. I have also written several hundred songs in my lifetime. I currently teach guitar at Central Arts & Humanities in Lake Charles, La. and at McNeese State University Leisure Learning program. My current recordings can be heard at www.tinawing.com and (bumper music) at www.laghosts.com *A very special thanks to Robert "Rusty" McCall for the Promo pictures and for being a dear friend. **A very very very special thanks to my boyfriend/Bass Player/Best Friend Joe Ecker!
Hi Tina Wing, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
Heeeey, Tina - it’s been a while :) - and how are you, hope things are good, are they?... Listen, I have a favor to ask you, could I? Since my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year. Round 2 (Finals!) ends in a few days and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
So... this is where you would cast a vote

Just look for this picture on the last row:
And these are the rules on how to 'do it' ...
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
Thank you so much already,
In appreciation,
- Armand
PS. a very 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;)
