ProgRocker's favorite warm, smooth organ will be in Addison, IL... a western suburb of Chicago this Saturday at the town's summer festival.
Gregg is set to play the Addison Community Days... taking the stage at 9pm local. :D

And... on Sunday... Jim Peterik. 8)

I SEE HIM at the Iowa State Fair on Tuesday... CANT WAIT. ROOTS is killer. and if you go to his website cool tunes to listen there too. there is one song that has Carlos and Neal as special guests.

My goal is to get him to sign infintiy and hopefully a santana LP that is up in storage i think its Santana III that i have. and then frame the covers.

Indeeeeed. :D 8)

And I believe (if I recall correctly) the band before him is some kind of AOR tribute band (Journey, etc...). I need to revisit that link and get all the details again. Should be a fun time!

Thanks Lu... :)
What kind of stuff does he play? His own originals post-Journey or does he throwback to Santana a bit? What's the feel? It's Rolie so I'm sure it'll be amaze. 8)

He does mostly the Santana thing.
Read the description on his site and on the Addison event site.
But that's cool too. :D

On and ironic note, GA made me homesick. We went to the Buffet-lo (remember Mama Cass, B?) and they had authentic Lexington-style BBQ!!! I haven't had that since I left North Carolina... and it tasted almost as good as my Momma's!! :cry: 8)
