It would be great to be there. I will be waiting impatiently for a report from this gig :-). Maybe Greeny is going to perform more?

Hi,

how come that "Greenie" and "Greeny" get mixed up in this forum all of the time?

I've been told that Peter Green is called "Greenie" but his kind of guitar style is called "greeny".

At least Mick Fleetwood (who should have known best) calls Peter Green "Greenie".

Is there any difference?

Dear Popmuseum,

since birth I have been called vinnie (amongst other things)

People who write to me write vinnie or vinny with their discretion. I was told once that I should not call myself vinnie as in english it is a diminutive of Vincent (my proper name).
English as a language is crazy. I personally don't see the difference.

I think you can use either one as Peter most likely doe not refer to himself ad either one.

Dear vinnie c / doodiehead,

thank you very much. I like Greenie more than Greeny - it has a better look.

I think doodyhead is right. Greeny/nie's family and friends probably calls him..... "Pete".

I don't like either Greeny or Greenie because it always reminds me of an english commercial (I think it was) - "The Jolly Green Giant" - that was supposed to make children eat more vegetables!

Anyway - it is great news that he will appear in public again, but anxiously I can't help wondering: who else with be there with him?

Thank you so much for posting, Popmuseum!!!

Somebody got to record this!!!

Reminds me of how great he looked at those new videos at MOJO and that other place.
I too wonder who's gonna be there with him. Probably that guy from those videos on rhythm guitar. Perhaps brother Michael??
Anyway, I hope he gets a good band with him, hopefully some sympathetic players who can support him rather than drown him. I'd rather take a verse of muted/silent Greeny while he gains new inspiration, than an other flashy lead guitarist who steps up as soon as Peter calms down a bit!

I really hope there'll be more gigs, and that he gets a solid and stable band. He mentioned in a recent interview that he's been jamming with some musicians from Spain. It could be them...?

The bigger question remains: will he be up to the task, or just taking up space on stage? It's sad to see Peter reduced to flotsam, which is basically what he appeared to be at quite a few stage performances in recent years. The problem is, you never know just what you're going to get with PG at any given time, especially this late in the game. All we can hope is that he's enjoying himself, which is important, but sometimes it's almost painful to watch. You can't help but come away wondering if others are manipulating him, for any number of suspect reasons.

Hi,
I'm not fluent in English

. I think both forms are correct.
But I'm going to use "Greeny" because I've been accustomed to it since Gary Moore "Blues for Greeny" tribute album

For me it's Greeny because that was the title of his instrumental recording with John Mayall during Bluesbreaker days, way back in the sixties (or is it sixtys?

).

Hello from Poland,
I've found info about another Greeny's gig in February (20.02.2009).
http://www.leffingeleuren.be/index.p...da&concert=666
It seems another musician (ROLAND) is going to perform with P. Green & Friends. We need some help from fans from Belgium in translation this info to English :-)
Regards
Krzysztof

From what I understand Roland is just the support act.
