"Jimmy Bryant,Wholesale Soccer Jerseys, Speedy West,Minnesota Vikings Jersey China, all these country-chicken-pickin'-flying-'round-the-guitar-neck guitar players. I got really inspired by it. I'm from way down in the country. It was pretty common to have the interests I had when I was that age. MTV had some hair metal on there,Los Angeles Clippers Jersey China, but I was more interested in this rockabilly vibe. STRAY CATS were really big at the time, in the '80s. It was epic."
