Musical influences? Too many to mention.

Creative influences? Anything. Everything. But most of all, the love of my life.

4Gb Intel i5 PC w/ M-Audio Audiophile 192 soundcard
Cambridge Audio A1 amp with Wharfedale Diamond 9.0 monitors or Sony MDR-V500 headphones if it's late.
Still searching for some talent to go with all that!
If you'd told me 25 years ago all this would be available, in my home, I'd have thought you were mad! So glad I would have been wrong :)
