Drummers have always seemed to be the most difficult to find people in any band I have ever been involved in. Greg is one of the nicest people I have ever met in the music business.

I.m acquainted with a couple of drummers and they are cool - probably the best all round musicians I know too.

Wow! You worked with him? Awesome! What project(s) did the two of you work together on? Anything you can post? It would be GREAT to hear!

Those are two impressive tracks! Dang! Talk about Playa's! What part/s did you have in the projects? I'm guessing guitar but is there a way I would know what's you?

Very cool to hear these btw! So well done!

I am not sure at this late date who did what. Well, other than Gregg played drums, and Lewis played lead guitar. There were a lot of recordings that got done in those years.

Paul English played B3 parts, and the recording was most likely more than fifty tracks deep. The recordings took place in three different studios over a period of a year. Lewis and I have played all these songs live with the band. The live gigs were never exactly like the recordings.
We all did whatever we could to support each other. Musicians come and go, so we always had to adapt to what we had to work with.

I usually have been responsible for the harmonic structure on the guitar, among other things, and some horn stabs on the keyboards over the years. There are also copywriting restraints that prevent me from posting some things I would like to post. There are also some very complex health issues involved that are very private.

All this took place in Los Angeles and Arizona, and Texas a good many years ago when we were much younger. I have been lucky to have been able to play with some world-class musicians.

Gregg is ten or fifteen younger than me and is still working as a studio musician.
