text:  A lot of my inspiration came from my uncle, Benny Jones. I got in the Treme Brad's band probably like about 15 years old. And, you know, he had some of the baddest cats out of New Orleans playing in the band at that time, too. It was like Freddie Kemp, you know, Freddie Kemp, Frederick Shepard, Stack Man, you know, a lot of bad cats. So many of them came through the band during that time. But I had a chance to be there and kind of like, you know, soak in that music and be around those musicians and learn, you know.
