Hey Jenna T - I made it to Playboy before you!  And got to keep my clothes on!  As young and handsome as I was!!! 

We were supposed to play with our pals in THE FOOLS (It's a Night for Beautiful Girls) but Mike had surgery so our new pals in the Aerosmith tribute DRAW THE LINE performed with us! Great band!
