Influences - why do you play?

[flipflop]

I grew up going back and forth from the foster care system and my mom. Ironically in both places musical instruments were available. I first picked up an acoustic guitar at 6. My foster parents had a piano that i started playing at 8. I started singing at 8 as well and then started songwriting shortly after my mother died from alchol posioning at age 11. I started playing in a band around that same time. From that point all I ever wanted was to be a musician and songwriter

My biggest influences for guitar range from hendrix, bb. king, Santana,
for songwriting they include lennon, dave matthews, billy corgan
for singing influences include Sting, Mcartney, dave matthews

You on MySpace or something? Give me a beep, would love to hear stuff.
