We played at a club called, the Elbow Room. Don Carlos, the nightclub owner, was very hip and a very important person who made a big impact on my life.

You know, I had the ability like a catalyst to really get everybody hyped up.

I have always had a tremendous amount of energy and any band I was ever in from the age of fourteen, I would always be the one who would describe the future and vibe everyone up.

Everything that Traffic ever did, I'd give Steve a complete lyric, titled, written out with the verse, the bridge, the shape and rhyme and then Steve had to figure out how the meter of the words would fit musically.

After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together.

I think you do better when you are really up for it, cause passion goes up.
