Happy Fourth of July Hey Everyone, I will be California until July 7th!!!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful Fourth! Support our Troops and Our President!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perry Woods How Did the Experience begin? " The first Jimi Hendrix song I ever heard was May This Be Love (or as I
like to call it-the Waterfall song). The use of delays and a slide on that
song took me on a trip every time I heard it. He was the first person who
showed me that a great performer could take his audience on a trip; making
them forget all their worries and problems. I call that-Time Travel. Oh,
then there was the scorcher, Buddy Guy's Red House. DAMN! "
My mother was from Mississippi, one of the original Homes
of the Blues. She loved to listen to the Blues. She used to play Jimmy Reed,
Bobby Blue Bland, Albert King, Muddy Waters and B. B. King records all the
time. So I thought I was pretty well informed about the Blues. However, I
was quickly enlightened by Jimi. I had never felt that much power coming out
of a guitar until I heard Hendrix tearing it up on Red House! I thought
that God had broken the guitar mold after he created Hendrix. And then came
a guy in a cowboy hat, S. R. V. In 1990 MTV's show "Unplugged" Featured Stevie Ray Vaughan. I had
seen performers on that show before with orchestras, choirs, etc. It was
anything but unplugged. And here was this guy, kicking my butt with just his
voice and his acoustic guitar. It was life changing! After watching
S.R.V.'s performance. I knew that I could and would succeed. With a band or
without... The greatest thing about My influences- is that they are just
influences.
Ideas from great men and women used by me, my guitar and my voice to create. The
great men and women who influenced me helped me create a style of my own. No
one can Be them. It is a waste of time to try. But we all can take their
visions on to the next generation. |
