Your musical influences
I love motown and old R&B. I grew up in the 80's so I was a fan of some of the bands from that era. My favorites include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bon Jovi, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Blue October, Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder and way too many more for me to list.What equipment do you use?
I play an Ovation, Fender, G&L and Gibson guitars.Anything else?
Music is nothing but chaotic emotion... acoustically speaking.Met Jay this past week, July 28 on Fascination. He is amazing. And a great guy too. I've worked with bands in the past, and I've seen almost every big name band out there. And Jay blew me away. I can't wait to get some of his original material. Jay, thanks for making my vacation even more enjoyable.jay, thanks for making the cruise on the legend a blast. you were awesome and its there lost when you left. keep up the great work.All comments (3)

I had the pleasure of meeting Jay on the Carnival Freedom last week and he truly is amazing!!! I bought his CD and have not listened to anything else since. He's great at interacting with the guests and will even graciously give autographs ;-). I'm a huge Rod Stewart fan and he played his songs very well, definately put a smile on my face so, Jay, wherever you may be right now, know that you left this passenger with many fond memories and I will be smiling for a long time to come. My favorite originals of yours are "Forever and a Day" and "Fourth of July" You have amazing talent and you are going to go very far!! Please don't forget what I signed in your book ;-)
