Influences and Teachers
The usual suspects along with many of you. A bass player/singer in the southeast named Randy Lewis (RIP) who played bass even though he was missing most of his right arm. Awesome dude. Great vocalist. Some of the School of Rock kids here in Chicago. Passionate, studious, creative, frickin' talented.
