I have known Greg since high school and was even in a band with him at that time. He is a musical genius and one of the nicest and friendliest people I have ever met.
Holy poo. I just noticed this is Greg's personal youtube account. Okay, so in my last post, replace the word "Greg" with "you" and "you're". One of my favorite songs of all time is "The Bee System". I kid you not when I say "Niagara Falls" is the ONLY tape I permanently leave in my dual cassette deck (yes, cassette deck, I know). I have "The Bee System" randomly recorded 3 times on the same tape. Ingenius stuff. "The Cars" was my favorite band because of you.
He's been wearing that type of shoe for so long, I'm surprised he can even stand anymore. So bad for the feet! That said, I bought his "Niagara Falls" record in 1984 and it's STILL one of my favorite albums.
I read he's a big fan of the Uke. I think his wife bought him one for Christmas or something so he learned how to play it and loves it. Great playing on strings from a keyboardist! I'm not a Beatles fan but I'm a major The Cars fan. Saw The New Cars and saw Greg Hawkes play his synths. Very cool. Hey wonder what Greg thinks of Jake Shimubrko's (spell?) uke playing of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?
I love this. I am a big Beatles fan and if George Harrison was still alive I think he would have loved this. He was a huge fan of the uke and I think he would have also laughed his ass off having such a great sense of humor hanging around with those Monty Python nuts.
this sucks

i met Greg at a Beatles Convention and got to jam with him. He's is probly the nicest person on Earth, as well as a ridiculous musician.

@babychika1230, yes, Greg is a huge part of The Cars' unique style and I think he is finally getting the credit he deserves in their success.

Very infectious and fun- two words that ordinarily don't (and shouldn't) go together. Playful arrangement and video... much appreciated!
