He became the lead guitarist in the band "The Castiles" (and later the lead singer) when he was 16. In the late 1960s, Springsteen performed briefly in a trio known as "Earth," performing mostly in New Jersey clubs.

...none, and Maria plays the former like someone meditating before a hurricane and the latter like the hurricane itself.
