I have a lot of friends who are involved in everything from Americana to blues to R&B to pop to country.

Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' spread the gospel of American pop music and teenage style that transcended the regional boundaries of our country and united a youth culture that eventually spread its message throughout the entire world.

Americana Music is about all sorts of different music. It's very free and open: a world where people just like authentic music.

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

Having American refugees on American soil is heartbreaking, ... In Rhode Island and all across the country, American families are offering their homes, posting their offers on the Internet and on community bulletin boards. My wife Marisa and I offer our home for any family who is displaced.

Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.
