Do you think your influences come through in your playing?

A month ago I was playing in a house band behind open mikers. Basically a human version of a Kereoke machine. We decided to swap instruments. The other guy says, " Oh, you do the Greatful Dead thing, eh? " I did one tune and swapped back. At home I listened to Phil Lesh. I don't know what the guy was talking about? I think I sound like a guy that learned in a basement, in a cornfield.
