When I graduated from college in the spring of 1970, I decided to hitchhike around Europe with my guitar and my backpack. I was gone for about four months.

My guitar playing is a synthesis of traditional American acoustic style and Urban Pop and R&B.

I couldn't wait to grow a mustache. I stopped shaving my upper lip the day I graduated from high school.

'Maneater' is about N.Y.C. in the '80s. It's about greed, avarice, and spoiled riches.

Jam Cruise is actually a comfortable place for me. My jamming skills and my improvisational skills have improved immensely as I've gone more solo, because I've had this opportunity.

We're happy with how it has gone. We wanted to do a couple of things this spring. We wanted to evaluate talent and get a good handle on who the guys are. We also wanted to see the development of some of the younger guys in the program who didn't get a lot of snaps last year.
