The Greg Elmore Interview
The distinctive sound of the Bay Area came from individualistic drummers like my guest. My guest wound up in a psychedelic rock
Folk outfit known as Quicksilver Messenger Service. A group of Mavericks that combined a wide range of instruments into their music which allowed it to span multi-genres. You hear all the influences in their music and it starts with the drummer.
He could play hard driving rock or Bossa nova, he could play Afro Cuban rhythms or hold it down while a horn section led by Ron Taramina
Blew over the top.
His influences were his peers, Greg Errico, Bill Kreutzmann, Spencer Dryden, Eddie Moore, Eddie Marshall. His band mates were David Freiberg and John Cippolina
Paradiddles and polyrhythms with a new accent on the blues complete with very loose structure and a western psychedelic approach that helped swing the band.

I am really spaced out with this interview with Greg Elmore as we not only went to the same high school but we played together and this was our first time playing in front of the high school audience. I even have a newspaper clip with a picture. I would like to get in touch with Greg and if you cant give me his number or email maybe you can give him mine. thanks so much Mel Boyd class of 64.
