Influences

Just about all bass players. My seminal influences are Chris Squire (Yes), Jaco (Weather Report), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Geddy Lee (Rush), Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake & Palmer), Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) and Victor Wooten are major inspirations for me playing the bass.
Over the years, I've played with lots of folks, playing a lot of different styles. It's mostly been rock and pop, but I've done R&B, blues, jazz, heck, even country.
