Mark DuFresne was a great inspiration to me at 18 years old while I was 
visiting Kansas City. After hanging out with Mark for a week I finally 
figured out how to bend a note properly and precisely. now if I could just 
remember how to do that at 42!

He now is the lead singer and harp player for Roomful of Blues!

As for Wally, I don't know him, he never influenced me but I too have played 
many times in outer space.
