"Howdy! First of all I would like to thank everyone in my band for actually wanting to play with me. I can never thank you enough for all the joy that you bring into my life and I am forever grateful for the privilege of playing with each and every one of you. A very close second to that last statement, I would like to thank everyone who listens to and likes my music including my family & friends, my Fans, and my fellow musicians. I love Country music, always have loved Country Music, and always will love and love playing Country music. This is not a fad with me and please forgive me, but I don't need to say who my influences are. If you listen carefully, you can hear them in each and every song I write. And yes, there are a few Rock influences in there as well like Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, The Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Tom Petty, and several others. However, I've been told by a lot of people that it's pretty clear who I admire musically since imitation is the most sincere form of flattery ;) Thanks again for listening", Rikki Todd
