Early influences were Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, Stephen Stills, CSN&Y, Beatles of course, the Who, Page & Plant, Lindsey Buckingham, Doobies. Later influences :Michael Hedges, FRANCO MORONE, Paul Brady, Bill Mallonee, Patty Larkin, Shawn Colvin. I give Franco Morone credit for my "redicovering the acoustic 6 string" after seeing him perform in Cave Creek AZ. I recommend buying all his CD's if you are into heartfelt finger style playing. Oh, i forgot Leo Kottke and many others i will remember later LOL.. oh, John Hiatt. In 2022 I received an award for best "Folk Original Male" from Fair Play Country Music . Love's grip is tightest when the hand is open. Billy T
