Furry Lewis is my main and huge huge influence.
It may look like he was 'just an old blues guy,' a phrase I detest, like harmless, toothless, and sexless.Do not be fooled. Furry Lewis was a natural-born man and musician. He saw a lot in his lifetime, and we are all the better for it if we open ourselves and listen and feel what he left us in his music, a gift to the universe.
