Bergman comes to mind. The prelude to "American Opus" is really named "El Lobo Negro" after "The Hour of the Wolf". The idea is that in the middle of the night things are different than in the day. "The Seventh Seal" was an immense nourishment for my youthful mind years ago and still intrigues me. I suppose the movie "The Saragosa Manuscript" was another major impact on my brain as well.
Television
It has nearly killed me.
Books
Read "The White Goddess" by Robert Graves. Lafcadio Hearn's stories.
Heroes
Bessie Smith, Bessie Smith and of course Bessie Smith, but there is that other great vocalist June Carter also.
I have been moving all my life from one place to another. It all started when I was a week old and my father was stationed in Panama. I have slowed down a bit now. Even so it seems that moving is what I do best and playing music is climbing up to number one. LOL, I guess I must be an American Gypsy.
Bob Dylan - so I could thank him for his influence. I once owned a guitar that he had when he was younger. Mara told me it had been his but I didn't really believe it until I saw him with it in "No Direction Known". Then of course I would like to meet Snooks Eaglan. I am not sure where he is now that the katrina debacle moved him out of his house but I hope that he is OK. He influenced my blues immensely and when I went to New Orleans to find him he had gone to New York with Professor Longhair.
I have had the pleasure of meeting some of my favorite musician people over the years. Taj Mahal let me play his guitars once in Berkeley and it left me feeling totally grateful.

Thanks for the add! Just wanted to say that you really sounded great! It's very refreshing to hear your style of music being played instead of the same old everything.
Thank you so much for the request. Very nice to meet you. I lived in Seattle for 7 yrs. and studied jazz and blues there. I am planning to come to visit 2008 and I am hoping to participate in the Blues Festival. Love singing the blues ;o) Stay in touch...
