Had the pleasure of catching up with Greg on the London leg of his tour on
Monday. A real class act, and great to see top musicians who can really
PLAY blending together so perfectly. Being the true MOPO-nut that he is,
though, Greg was much more interested in talking posters than listen to my
fawning compliments about his guitar-wielding prowess. I came away with the
impression that he's a Jolly Nice Bloke, as we Brits like to say.
But I know I shouldn't let that fool me. Behind that friendly, sensitive
facade there surely lies a bat-crunching, demon-worshipping, flesh-eating,
blood-lusting, virgin-despoiling, mutant rock 'n' roll zombie from outer
space that would make Freddie Krueger blush. Why, the man even did a gig at
Whitby, spiritual home of Dracula. Tom Martin has warned us about this in the
past, and Tom don't tell no lie.
That said, I can only add to the recommendations already made by others to
go see Greg if he's touring in your vicinity in the future. At your own
risk.
Greg - I guess you're back home now. Hope you and the band had a good time
in our rain-sodden isle, and that you follow through with your threat to
return to the UK next year. Although maybe take a couple of days break next
time, so I can bore you to tears with my meagre collection of paper scraps.

P.S. Phil - thanks for spurring me to look up the Blues Project version of
Two Trains Running - excellent track - hadn't come across it before.
