Hey Greg, hope to catch you in the SF Bay area sometime, loved catching you at that small venue in Mass. Taking my sticks out after a very long hiatus and starting again, you always inspire me. Peace.
Wish you would do some gigs with DMB again, Dreaming Tree is so much better on stage with you in it, swore you were gonna be at the 2006 JPJ Arena gigs.
Anyway, 10.31.98 is one of my favourite tapes with you and Timmy on stage the entire show. Have your remastered debut solo album too, love it. Keep on rocking!
I met Greg at NAMM about 10 years ago and was stunned as he played "Tomorrow Never Knows".
I must have looked pretty silly with my jaw dropped to my knees. I gotta say too I've heard a few stick players, and IMO Greg is the lead honcho. It's more than obvious he's done his homework.
Greg Howard is probably the finest stick player I've heard IMO. I also think Michael Kollwitz is awesome too (more for his mellow songs and phrasing then overall technique).I'm just obsessed with this instrument and want to see/hear everything I can get my mitts on lol.
Great jam my friend. Love your control and sense for what the different instruments should play like i.e organ jam versus distorted guitar solo. Five stars!
It's players like Greg that stop me from getting a Stick, as much as I'd like one. Having seen him live several time both solo and when his band toured the States, I feel like I should focus on being the best *bassist* I can be.. ;-)
Well, the price of one is also a factor as well. :D I actually would like to pick up an 8-string Stick Bass or 10-string but have it tuned in Dual Bass Reciprocal so even though I'm on a new instrument, I'm still fulfilling my role as a bassist.
well played sir!

The Stick is an awesome instrument. Too many strings for me, though. It's all I can to play four.

Nah...don't let him stop you from getting one of these amazing instruments.
He wasn't good at it at first, either.
