Anybody know where Greg is now?
I owned Jaxtrax Studio/Jaxvil Records with Steve Monahan and we were across the street from the guitar store (what was the owners name?) Anyway
They put in a small studio…8 track I think..and Greg recorded an album there in the back room at the music store. When they were finished they brought it across the street for me to master. Greg really played well on that album and made some sounds I have never heard before. It kinda cut to the soul of his playing. I’m gonna get up from this computer and find my copy. It really was a soulful Blues. If I remember correctly the guy who did most of the tracking worked at the store and his first name was Kevin.
Greg also did some session work for me on a Ricky Jay single project and layed down some fine licks. Those were good days.
