If we heard it and liked it, it influenced us. We like or have liked: Dottie Rambo, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, The Hinsons, The McGruders, Willie Nelson, The Blue Ridge Rangers, Louisiana LeRoux, The Kingsmen, Percy Sledge, Bill Gaither, Ted Nugent, Kevin Wright and Living Proof, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gold City, Jimi Hendrix, Charles Johnson and the Revivers, Boston, Third Day, ELO, Jars of Clay, Journey, Audio Adrenaline, Marshall Tucker Band, Eastern Sky, and too many more to name. All of nature sings the praises of the Lord God Almighty. I hear His praises in the breezes and brooks, His awesome power and assurance in the storms and ocean waves, His wondrous joy in the songs of little birds. Jesus Christ Himself is therefore the greatest of all influences on our music!
