The short answer is, yes, I think I have become a better singer.
There is not a lot that keeps me glued to the radio as I used to be.
My earliest influences were things I heard in my household.
My first love was the sound of guitar.
Quite frankly, I've always listened to the black side of the radio dial. Where I grew up, there was a lot of it and there was a lot of live music around.
A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.
