my musical influences
What are your musical influences ?
The AM radio was the first music I heard as an infant in the early 1950's which was mostly country music,1940's pop and early Elvis..... My father sang and played the Harmonica around the house...My mom played violin and piano and conducted choirs at school.
At the age of 8. I started classical piano lessons and went for 7 years so I heard lots of Classical music: Bach ,Beethovan ,Chopin ,etc ..My mother played piano and when I was little I would dance around with my sister to her piano playing. I really liked the left hand bass notes she played on the piano....our hands were too small and couldn't reach the octaves [8 notes] yet.
My music teacher had music recitals in her home every year so I played infront of parents and peers. I also played the piano at the Bethel Baptist Church usually at Christmas . These were my first 'gigs' in front of an audience......at a very young age ....
My mother brought home the first 2 Beatle albums that came out in Canada . My brother who is three years older than I am , bought the first Rolling Stones album.... I played all these records over and over again ...I really liked the Chuck Berry covers on these albums.. and the drums
My parents bought my brother a red , Vox Jaguar Organ and amp from J.J.H. Maclean's. When he quit playing in bands I gave them a few dollars and they gave it to me. That was my first portable keyboard that I would use at band practises. My mother drove me to the practises with the organ and amp in her car....usually to Wally Shayne's parents house on Hampton Street . We were called "The Jagged Edge". We played at the Airways Community Club. I think that was my first ever band gig. We also played at the Air force base on Mount Royal. This was 1966 if I'm not mistaken....I played in many , many bands after after that . I had a portable organ and it seemed the phone was always ringing , somebody wanting me to play in their band ........most of the bands were playing "Louie Louie" by the kingsmen , " I'm Not Your Stepping Stone ' by the monkeys , "Mustang Sally" , and songs by the Animals.
I had a few 45's [ recordings ] . one I played alot was "Psychotic Reaction" by Count Five , "Your Pushing too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" by The Seeds........,most of the Dave Clark Five singles......."I Can See for Miles" by The Who......"Baby Please Don't Go" by Them ......also The Kinks album
I had the first 2 Led Zepplin albums and played some borrowed drums in the basement to them .........I like to fool around on the guitar and imitate Santana and Jimi Hendrix but didn't sound anything like them! The first acoustic guitar song I remember playing was "Gloria" by Them [Van Morrison ] ...3 chords over and over till the fingers bleed!! ......somebody showed me "George Harrison's riff for 'Day Tripper' by the Beatles and then I figured I was pretty hot then !!
In the 70's I had BTO's "Takin Care of Business" , Stones "Honky Tonk Women" , and Bob Seegar "Ramblin Gamblin Man" on 45's RPM. and played them over and over again.

iTunes -Australia thanks for the download
I just wanted to thank someone who downloaded one of my songs , "Turn Me Loose" from the album "You can't Rush me" recently [ Dec. 15/11 ] . It's interesting that a musician from Winnipeg can have his song heard and purchased in a far away land via the internet. I couldn't have done that in my earlier days!!!
rock music in 1966
just listening to ...PUSHING TOO HARD and CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE YOU MINE ...by THE SEEDS .......ON YOUTUBE ............PSYCHOTIC REACTION BY THE count five........1966 was an interesting year for rock!!

100-greatest-singers-of-all-time-/bob-dylan # 7-
Bono said according to Rolling Stone about Bob Dylan
Born May 24th, 1941
Key Tracks "Like a Rolling Stone," "Lay Lady Lay," "Visions of Johanna"
Influenced John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Conor Oberst...........
Bob Dylan did what very, very few singers ever do. He changed popular singing. And we have been living in a world shaped by Dylan's singing ever since. Almost no one sings like Elvis Presley anymore. Hundreds try to sing like Dylan. When Sam Cooke played Dylan for the young Bobby Womack, Womack said he didn't understand it. Cooke explained that from now on, it's not going to be about how pretty the voice is. It's going to be about believing that the voice is telling the truth.
To understand Bob Dylan's impact as a singer, you have to imagine a world without Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Kurt Cobain, Lucinda Williams or any other vocalist with a cracked voice, dirt-bowl yelp or bluesy street howl. It is a vast list, but so were the influences on Dylan, from the Talmudic chanting of Allen Ginsberg in "Howl" to the deadpan Woody Guthrie and Lefty Frizzell's murmur. There is certainly iron ore in there, and the bitter cold of Hibbing, Minnesota, blowing through that voice. It's like a knotted fist, and it allows Dylan to sing the most melancholy tunes and not succumb to sentimentality. What's interesting is that later, as he gets older, the fist opens up, to a vulnerability. I have heard him sing versions of "Idiot Wind" where he was definitely the idiot.
I first heard Bob Dylan's voice in the dark, when I was 13 years old, on my friend's record player. It was his greatest-hits album, the first one. The voice was at once modern, in all the things it was railing against, and very ancient. It felt strangely familiar to an Irishman. We thought America was full of superheroes, but it was a much humbler people in these songs — farmers, people who have had great injustices done to them. The really unusual thing about Bob Dylan was that, for a moment in the Sixties, he felt like the future. He was the Voice of a Generation, raised against the generation that came before. Then he became the voice of all the generations, the voices in the ground — these ghosts from the Thirties and the Dust Bowl, the romance of Gershwin and the music hall. For me, the pictures of him in his polka-dot shirt, the Afro and pointy shoes — that was a brief flash of lightning. His voice is usually put to the service of more ancient characters.
Here are some of the adjectives I have found myself using to describe that voice: howling, seducing, raging, indignant, jeering, imploring, begging, hectoring, confessing, keening, wailing, soothing, conversational, crooning. It is a voice like smoke, from cigar to incense, where it's full of wonder and worship. There is a voice for every Dylan you can meet, and the reason I'm never bored of Bob Dylan is because there are so many of them, all centered on the idea of pilgrimage. People forget that Bob Dylan had to warm up for Dr. King before he made his great "I have a dream" speech — the preacher preceded by the pilgrim. Dylan has tried out so many personas in his singing because it is the way he inhabits his subject matter. His closet won't close for all the shoes of the characters that walk through his stories.
I love that album Shot of Love. There's no production. You're in a room hearing him sing. And I like a lot of the songs that he worked on with Daniel Lanois — "Series of Dreams," "Most of the Time," "Dignity." That is the period where he moves me most. The voice becomes the words. There is no performing, just life — as Yeats says, when the dancer becomes the dance.
Dylan did with singing what Brando did with acting. He busted through the artifice to get to the art. Both of them tore down the prissy rules laid down by the schoolmarms of their craft, broke through the fourth wall, got in the audience's face and said, "I dare you to think I'm kidding."

ARTIST BIO
As described in ancient Mayan relics, 'A Hundred Years' is the collaboration of Martian anthropologist Jeremiah Simmons and Stonemasons human testing refugee Kris Fantastiwicz.
