Day 7 #30daysofme

Someone or something that has had a huge influence on me.  Well George Michael actually.  A bit ironic, since the silly git has got himself behind bars for 4 weeks, but his drug issues aside, he has influenced me musically more than anyone else.  I don't care what you say about his music or his issues, the guy has got a great voice and that is his first and foremost influence on me. As a singer, I aspire to sound as good as him, aspire to be as comfortable as him on stage, aspire to write half as well as him.  He has consistently changed and adapted muscially over several decades now and  I always like his stuff.  It was a total highlight for me to see him live at the start of this year, a lifetime ambition come true.
