Who influenced your music taste most

[Hyfi]

I would say my 3 older brothers and something different from each.

My oldest brother played Simon & Garfunkle to bar room blues like Thorogood, who used to play in local bars near me before he was well known.

Second oldest brother was more Zappa and Allman Bros stuff.

3rd oldest was more head music, Uriah Heap, 10 Years After, Bloodwyn Pig and the likes.

My oldest brother was building Heathkits, Dynaco, and Hafler gear on the kitchen table when I was little and both olders used the gear with speakers like the old AR5s.

I picked up my own stuff out of being exposed to the rest.

PEPPERS all in the same month.............what a year !.................amazing.............and we've never been the same since.
