I'd say that it was a sort of weird amalgam of Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Ian Tyson, and Bob Dylan, and even Jackson Browne, given that they were all people I listened to a lot and like a lot. The Dylan influence may be clearer to hear in my voice than the others, but I have a much more agreeable voice (so people say) than he does. (I mean, I like his voice, but a lot of people sure don't.)

Some have said I sound like John Denver (probably because they already like John Denver, so that's what first comes to their mind). He did not influence me at all.

There were people I loved, but they didn't influence my singing style. Leonard Cohen would be one of those. He has a very different style to mine. Neil Young is another whom I like, but I NEVER wanted to sound like him. Never. That's for Neil alone to do, as far as I can see. I wince when people try to sound like Neil Young...all quavery and high almost falsetto. ARGH! I also wince when people try to sound like Janis Joplin. That girl was destroying her vocal chords every time she opened her mouth, as far as I'm concerned.

William Shatner has not influenced my singing style in any way whatseover. ;-)
