I've known of Greg's association with top-40 rock music and his ultra-complicated and catchy guitar riffs for a while, but beyond his hilariously sarcastic posts at MoPo, I had never seen him play before a live audience, e.g., I've only "heard" him on vinyl, tape, CD and MP3s. He's so balls-to-the-wall funny that I've always wondered what beyond a few of his self-described hallucinogenic and booze and girls episodes - could have created such wit - and enhanced his remarkable talent for music. Have always loved his guitar riff to "Jungle Love." Like Welles said when it comes to creating a masterpiece, "you only need one." Greg has WAY MORE than just one.

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU David - Great post....... I have known Greg for so many years, sometimes he just pops in the studio to say hello. I am always so happy to see him, he is just that type of person. It is such a treat to see him in his element, thanks so much.

As some of you know, our own Greg Douglass wrote many songs - most notably the top-40 single, "Jungle Love" (1977) - when he was with the Steve Miller Band. (He's also worked with the likes of Van Morrison and Greg Kihn.) ** Greg wrote recently on his Facebook page, "My first-time-in-30-years-complete-and-utter-surprise performance of 'Jungle Love' with the Steve Miller band" was captured on video by fan/friend Dave Evans on July 9, 2010, at the Pechanga Resort here in Southern California (Temecula, east of L.A. in the Inland Empire). It was posted on You Tube on July 18. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJKPZdCGDkY ** (BTW, Greg's FB profile modestly notes that he's only a "semi-famous" guitarist who lives in the San Diego area with his "lovely wife, two dysfunctional cats, and a large collection of horror movie posters.")
