Gregg? I only saw him twice. Once during the Cher years, when the band really lacked soul. Then saw the GAB in a small club in the Va Tidewater area. Great show. But that was 82-83. Lots of water under the bridge from then until he died.

I do remember now. My mind is like a steel trap. Kind of rusty and a little warped.

Not great chops on the keys, but Gregg could sing the blues.

Duane couldn't sing. Gregg most definitely could.


Gregg's version:

Do you see any chance of the Allmans ever playing again?
I believe anything’s possible.

Would you like to see it happen? If not now, two years from now?
I don’t see how it could now, but I would like to see it happen. When I came back from the trial, I called back to Macon to try to set up more meetings. They wouldn’t talk to me.

Must have hurt.
Yeah, it did. Especially because the fact is, not one of the Allman Brothers Band, not one of the men in the band, was at that trial. Therefore, I can only believe that they made up their minds on hearsay alone. They weren’t there to see the pressure. They weren’t there to see the cat holding my manuscript right in my nose just daring me, just fucking daring me, to swerve off of it just enough to get me on a perjury charge.

I agree-imo Greg was a good blues man & the allman's music was better when duane was alive (for the record I think Warren had more talent then both)
