Influences	Influences Jesus is my primary influence. Without God, I wouldn’t have gotten my Restaurant, musical historical, or any of the talent I have today.

My Great Grandma was a Chamber Organist as well as Piano Teacher. My other influences are from composers. Händel, Mendelssohn, J.S. Bach, Wagner, Martin Luther, John & Charles Wesley. With the exception of Wagner, all were devout Christians. Wagner became Christian later in his life.
