Other songwriters and artists who have been kind enough to grace this page are, Andrea Zonn, Buzz Kiefer, Rick Perry, Ron Perry, Kat Starr, Laura Kristoff, Fiona MacMahon, Christine McHoes ,Cherish and Adam Hamby, Cathy Wilson, and Lyda Bailey..., Brenda Weitzel and Patty Loftis................. 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
