Man, just seeing this again. What a guy! Not a day goes by that I still don't think of Greg. He was one-of-a-kind!

After Greg died his sister Melanie and I exchanged information at his memorial service. I drove from Chicago to Lansing > Lansing to Chicago in one day, which was probably equal to the total time I spent with Greg in real life. That's the kind of impact he had on me (and others). People made the trek regardless of the fact that the bulk of their relationship was spent online or over the phone. We got up on the stage, told stories, bawled in front of strangers and his family, shared together afterwards etc. All while Phish was playing MSG! Man, I'm not sure if he was rolling over in his grave due to the fact that his family planned his memorial during a Phish run, and the majority of his buddies couldn't attend, or if he was dancing up above! Thinking it was the latter!

Anyway, flashback to before Greg died. He told me that he'd always find a way to share the most worthy album with me, no matter what. After he died I corresponded with Melanine via e-mail. She told me that Greg spent his last days listening to Van Morrisson's Astral Weeks. And so with that, another amazing album was handed to me by Greg! Greg, found a way to deliver another incredible album to me. One that could be listened to all the way through, without skipping a song. It remains one of - EASILY - my top 3 albums of all time.

A year after that I stumbled across some VERY old Fleetwood Mac live recordings that Greg sent me. Before Fleetwood Mac was the Fleetwood most people know and love. I never listened to them when he sent them. BnPs! I listened to them that year. Loved them. Duh. Greg managed to deliver two albums, in two years, after his death! My mom died two years after Greg died. She loved Fleetwood, so these blues, Fleetwood recordings were beyond special to me.

Don't want to be too lengthy, but I want to add that somehow Greg has provided another album in 2015. Still waiting on the album for 2016! I have a feeling they're going to keep on keepin' on!
