CJ Ha! You too! :) This interview was wonderful, as is true of pretty much anything interview I’ve seen Greg give. I’ll never forget the tour of Europe we did in ‘72 with the Blue Lake Jazz band (and rock band), or Greg’s ability to keep us up at night with the sound of a dripping faucet he made by flicking his cheek. (And Greg will probably never forgive me for suggesting we learn and play Smoke on the Water during that tour.)

Hey Tom, What really tore us up was when Mr. Luoma Lynn Middlebrook decided to play those crazy songs that blew our lips BIG TIME. There was one Dick Denning and I had to trade off because it never got below a G above the scale. KILLER. Hope you're still playing.....I'm playing now and then but gave up studio work in 1990. Enjoyed Greg's antics. He always gave Harold Luoma pause. We just grinned and kept playing!!!!!!!!!!!

I still play - but mostly compose. And these days I mostly do that on a piano or one keyboard or another. Much less guitar. Lynn Middlebrook dropped me a note a month ago saying he wasn't able to play anymore given the battle he's had with cancer. Do you still remember the names of any of the charts we played? Greg taught the rhythm section to play Freddie Hubbard's "Red Clay," which I love to this day. I asked him then who the original keyboard player was. "Herbie Hancock," he said. I asked, "Is Herbie as good as you are?" Greg: "Man, you don't know anything!"

Oh boy, that's been so long ago. OMG, I just remembered. The one high chart we played that just killed me was "Get It On in the Morning" by Chase. It got so bad at times Lynn would sit in with us and the 3 of us would take turns. Dick and I used to really rib Lynn because his "A's" were always sharp. When one came up Dick and I would both out blast Lynn and Harold Luoma would just cringe. My lips always hurt after that one. I don't remember the number we played for the dancers, but we were always getting lost for some reason. Luoma would just point at Greg and he'd nod his head and just keep playing. Luoma would give a start point and we would all come in on cue. Just as though it was written that way. Wow, those are fond memories. Thank you for making me think. I've had a smile on my face while thinking about and writing this. My oldest granddaughter is a jazz flutist (she's 22 and pretty good, too) and not long ago I drug out the pictures of us guys from Greenville that went. I still have several of the programs and she got really caught up in all the places we went. She has played in Ghent, Belgium and she went nuts when she saw our program from there. Good to hear from you again, Tom

That is so cool!

Completely agree. What an amazing character. Talent beyond.

Ijeoma OZICHI Omotade And I adores you honey 🍯

Yes he is. I started off the video with a big laugh. Amazing talent he is.

Temperton?...

I don't know why.. Dom was listening and questioning about how he started, and develop his career, plus he took his time to talk about Stevie, Michael Quincy, Gilmour and his own vision. You didn't like his personality, I think.
