Hi Folks, So many of you ask me who I'm influenced by. That's a good question, the fact is; it's all music. there's no specific person or band that I could point to. However; we have just lost an amazingly prolific music creator in Bert Bacharach. His music; being performed by some fabulous bands and singers; always seemed to be there when I was trying to find my way in life and sometimes with just the right words or tune to fill the moment. I only wish that I could live up to that legacy with my efforts in music. But to you folks; thanks for being there, to listen and appreciate what we do as creators of music. Goodbye Bert. Best regards Rod Graham (Gettin On)
