I just heard of Howard Gregory's passing.

We were young sailers in the radio gang on an aircraft carrier.

He had his steel and amps and that @#$%!!! reverb box with him but we played electric guitars mostly.

What a genius he was and natural musician even in his teens.

We both bought Guyatone electric guitars in Japan.
He tought me much.

I have many memories of (we called him Greg) and have thought of him often.

Sorry I am for anyone who didn't know him.

I had forgotten until now but I remember Howard's outstanding imitation of a Texas City radio station announcer.

A memory of Howard that makes me smile is when he saw a suit with a red vest in a shop window in San Diego.
He bought it and wore it when he and I played at a Navy EM club.

His red vest was a big hit.
