What did you listen to that first inspired you to play music?
Robert and I have older brothers and sisters, so, as a kid, I could walk down the hall and hear Crosby Stills, Nash ,and Young coming out of one room, and the Mamas and the Papas out of another. Out of my brother's room, I'd hear Hendrix. From my mom, I got Bacharach, Andy Williams, and the Cowsills. I loved Zeppelin, the Stones and Sabbath, and then I loved the Carpenters and Glen Campbell. All of that stuff inspires me to this day.
