Greg began his tremendous road to success as lead drummer/percussionist, with second drummer Steve Nutting, in the hugely successful band American Dream. Combined with such accomplished musicians as Mark "Shrimp-Fart" Perry as lead guitar and Rick Giguere who, by some miracle, was part of the band, Greg shot to the top of the local Bay Area charts with such songs as "Chili Wagon" and "Squirrel in the Backyard". A 40 year reunion of American Dream is currently in the works, timed with the possibility of a new album, appropriately named "LOL". ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greg Ellis (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
