Some of his antics were silly and seemed ridiculous, except that Greg had only weeks to live. He was a true believer.

Bubba P. Water

Some nights, it would take him what seemed like an eternity to climb those stairs, and he would seem totally drained by the time he reached the top. I was, however, blown away by his conviction and what he was doing.

It made me question and eventually reaffirm my own convictions and beliefs. Usually we just talked about surface stuff. Greg was very opinionated and relished a good disagreement. It sometimes felt like he was giving you the flinch test.

He would lean forward semi-upright and sing in that raggedy voice and crack nasty jokes between songs, occasionally looking like he was about to fall off the stool and drop dead on stage, but he stayed on his feet and never went down. As the terrible disease progressed, he got worse and worse.

But the shows stayed consistently rock solid. These were not packed houses, mind you. The point was the playing. By that time, it was what he was living for. It was the point of his existence. I only knew a few of his friends and I was just getting to know them. On top of all this, he loved a good story and would certainly not hesitate to exaggerate if it enhanced the entertainment value. He was, as I said, a true entertainer and was constantly performing—whether it was on stage or in that tiny office. I know he loved him, because folks who knew him better said so, and I certainly never saw any hint of a guy who would ever feel otherwise.

But I was just a hired soundman with a beer and a joint. I was the guy you tell to turn up your monitor, someone who you might talk about a rock record with. Not someone you confide in or share your personal feelings with. He and his band were all obviously having a great time.

Unfortunately, the boombox was very old and decided to crap out and eat my tape that night, so the show only lives in my memory which is probably alright anyway. Three weeks later he returned, but it was all different then. He looked 90 years old, and his weight had fallen to well below pounds. Death was definitely closing in on him and he knew it.

The show was, however, even more miraculous, given his deteriorating condition. After the show, Greg went ahead and booked the band for another show the next month. He also asked me if I wanted to open for him at a show in Atlanta.

I was still in the process of putting together my band, Drive-By Truckers our first show was still three months away , and I was picking up gigs whenever and wherever I could with a band called The Possibilities. They had been together for years by that time, and would sometimes, as a side project, back me up on my own songs under the name The Lot Lizards.

Lot Lizard is trucker slang for a prostitute who sometimes frequents truck stops and rest areas, providing her service for lonely truckers.
