"These are things I listen to when I'm painting: Miles Davis' In a Silent Way and Kind of Blue. Bob James' Espresso. Ma Rainey. Bessie Smith. Lonnie Johnson. Sunnyland Slim. Jascha Heifetz. And occasionally, Garbage and Juvenile. Practicing guitar and listening to the practice. Lectures on tape from The Great Courses series, like Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories & Tragedies. Ruth Draper and her Company of Characters."
