My favorite color is the blues. NEW PROJECT
Much of the music I heard growing up was a combination of African American music, i.e. Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Staples and more Mountain gospel from my mother's Appalachian side of the family. I learned my first blues picking patterns from the Elizabeth Cotton style and listened to Leadbelly, Josh White and of course 60s blues groups like Johnny Winter, John Mayall, Spencer Davis Group. String music groups like Hickory Wind or old time like Leon Redbone were also a big influence and bluegrass later on in my teens. This more my roots in the voice and acoustic instruments realm. The electronic side of my musical personality started pretty early too, but not as early as my acoustic roots. - Gerbtone
