Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail
“ I have to thank my mother: she bought me a cheap nylon string guitar when I was 13,
it was right-handed and I couldn't figure out chords ; it turns out I played left
…. at home we listened to everyone from Elvis to Aretha to Willie to Stevie Ray, we still do .
The Beatles got the ball rolling although we were late to the party:
how to play, how to write, reading every little detail for each release;
The Stones got us into crunchy sweaty guitars, loved the power and melodicism of U2,
always listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Howlin' Wolf , blues in general ;
also, Motown, reggae , soul, punk " if we can hum it, we'll try it
