If you want to skip this krap and just read the lists, 
GO RIGHT AHEAD!!!

Well, first, I must go back to my roots. I was born and raised
in the South so naturally a HUGE influence is Elvis. My mom 
raised me on those and a few other things like the Beatles 
and Arlo Guthrie. I don't like to listen to country but I 
can appreciate that on some level it has been an influence on 
me. My mom is also the reason that I am a singer. She is a 
very musical person. I've sang for 2 bands, one punk and 
one alternative. The best concert I have ever been to was OF 
COURSE The Misfits. We went to see them in March of 1998 in 
Memphis, TN. It was a life changing experience. I was already 
into punk but that was the turning point that made punk my 
first love. The show itself was spectacular, and then we got 
to meet them after the show! (see above pic) The picture 
includes (left to right) My husband Daniel, Jerry Only of 
the Misfits, my ex-best friend Michelle, and me on the far 
right (I had my husband cut me out because I look pretty 
awful) They were so nice.(I may include the other pic with 
Michale Graves, at the bottom) I practically fell in love 
with Jerry Only. Well, enough of this krap, I'll just get 
to the point and list all my past and present musical tastes 
and influences. There are lots that I probably will leave out, 
but I just don't have the time or energy to list them ALL.
