- Joe Houston
- Howlin' Wolf
- Muddy Waters - falling in love with this style of music
- B.B King
- Edgard Varese - I can see why Zappa was obsessed
- Bela Bartok
- Igor Stravinsky
- The Jewels
- Ornette Coleman - this guy is mad skilled
- Cecil Taylor
- Eric Dolphy
- Oliver Nelson
- Pat Boone
- Gale Storm
- Tab Hunter
- The Fontane Sisters
