Music: Pretty much everything I've ever heard, liked and listened to carefully. We only had a radio when I was a kid so I had to learn tunes whenever they came on by ear. Just grabbing my guitar and tuning it to the song had me thinking fast.

A Blend of everything I've ever really liked and been influenced by :) and most of all...listened to closely.

Sell new ideas and certain sanctuary to prominent political figures in crisis...part time only.
