Gregg was a close friend & ally to our band. A couple of us from the An Albatross camp first crossed paths with him when he filled in on bass for an Ink & Dagger set at Wilkes-Barre Fest (c. 1997), later we caught him with Delta 72 supporting Rocket From the Crypt at the First Unitarian Church (c. 1998) & later we became friends with him as he & Eddie, Eddie’s brother, Mikey & Russ Alexander forged a psychedelic-soul monthly event in Philadelphia called Turnaround Vs. Immediate. Gregg had an influence on An Albatross in its overall aesthetic & presentation: 60’s Detroit by way of James Brown soul-freakout by way of early angular Rough Trade/No Wave tidbits. He was always an encouraging & inspirational figure that by proxy helped in the sonic sculpture & aural swirl of “We Are the Lazer Viking” & “Blessphemy.” His departure is a great loss for the global music community, particularly the Philadelphia music scene where much of his roots were embedded. We will miss you, brother.
