Thank you, and oh, what lovely company to be in! I'm honored. And yes, of course, we know Buffy SM in the US!

Influences... John Denver and Emmylou Harris would be my main influences (and my co-producer is also a huge JD/Emmylou fan, so that's doubled). Also Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac.Townes van Zandt and Gram Parsons, Jessi Colter. And I've been listening a lot to Marianne Faithfull lately, esp her Broken English album. Billy Joel is who originally inspired me to sing and write, but I don't think I'm influenced by his style per se, I just love his music.
