Musical Influences:
Ann D’Amico - grade school music teacher
Jim, Rob, and Ray Meade - musical
cousins – Jim plays bass and was an inspiration. Rob plays
guitar (professionally since we were teens) and Ray messes around on
drums. Rob, Ray and I spent many an afternoon recording music on
a reel-to-reel tape recorder.
The Beatles, The Byrds, Cream, Led
Zeppelin, Cactus, The Who, Elvis Costello - the bass players with those
folks were all key to my musical development.

What I Drink When I’m Performing:
