Greg always seems to involve himself with the best of the best. Saturday October 5th was no exception. David Uosikkinen provided all of us fans with yet another “IN THE POCKET” performance featuring talent that, to be honest, most of us sometimes don’t realize live right within our wonderful City of Philadelphia & have written some of the best songs ever produced. This event was even more special to me with the addition of Bob Beru to the performers.
