Everyone I have ever heard, that caught my ear. Yes, that includes classical, country, rock, pop, alternative, folk, gospel, environmental sounds, whispers,
as well as the blues.
Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Moody Blues, Eagles, Neil Young, Mary Chapin Carpenter and far too many to mention have lyrically influenced my thoughts as well as my music and lyrics. I should also mention Danny Wells and Frank Luck as well.
