seriously though, as they say in Hawaii...I enjoyed "talkin' story" witcha, bra. Mahalo!

Great... now I've got to cut and paste your comment into Google Translate to decipher it! Does Google have that particular translation engine yet....? Hmm...

I doubt it. My best friend is Hawaiian/Filipino so I know a bit of Hawaiian slang. It means I enjoyed talking about back in the day with you.

Umm.... Did you not see the barrage of smiley's at the end of my post?! It means I was jokin' witcha bra! I mean, I do watch Hawaii Five O sometimes geez...

We saw Gregg last Thursday in a club in San Rafael called George's. Lots of musical history in that place from back in the day when it was called New George's. I hadn't seen Gregg in many years as I'm not so much into latin music, but I knew he was going to play a couple of old Journey tunes at this show and some songs off of his new EP.

It was fabulous seeing him again as well as Herbie Herbert and other old friends from Journey's management and road crew who were there. He played "Look Into The Future" which was amazing and a blues version of "Anytime" which was okay but might have been amazing if Neal was playing. The guitarist was okay but just didn't really move me - I would have preferred to hear more solos from Gregg and not the guitarist. Gregg told some stories, did a short Q&A and it was just a fun evening. Too band the sound system SUCKS there.

One of the songs he played is called "If I Went Home" and it's off his new EP. He said he wrote that song about his decision to leave Journey. The vibe of the song was 'I hope you will be okay without me but I need to go home.' I teared up listening to it.

Anyway, he looks and sounds great and it was a really special evening.

Thanks for getting the thread back on track. and thanks for the info! I think it's cool that he's doing smaller intimate shows like Rik Emmett has been doing. I really enjoy the small venues even more than a large concert. I hope he does some appearances in Tejas! Would love to see him.

Working on it...
