Hi all: 

This is something that I personally have not seen addressed on this list 
before, and I think it would be an interesting discussion. 

In addition to the reason we are all here on this list (The Doobie Brothers), 
there are a lot of hardworking professional musicians as well as people who 
are paying their dues trying to break in to the music business. There are 
also those of us who like to play musical instruments just for fun. 

Who in music has influenced or inspired your playing throughout the years? 

The Doobie Brothers' thoughts on this are welcome as well.  

In my case, I have been playing the piano since I was 5, and the historical 
person who has inspired me the most in my playing is Mozart. In modern music, 
our own Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Keb' Mo, Eric Clapton, and Bruce 
Hornsby. 

When I sat down to really think about this, I discovered I could not choose 
just one.

What are the rest of your thoughts on this? 


Debbie.
