To Craig Maki,
Your comment has that you took a photo of Jack Earls with Warren Gregory 7/24/2015. Or is this the date you posted the photo?

I had an uncle Warren Gregory who was a guitar player. He was born in Arkansas 9/4/1935, died in Florida 7/23/2011. The photo you have of a Warren Gregory with Jack Earls looks like my uncle did in the early 2000s. My uncle went to Humes High School in Memphis TN, and played piano and guitar then. He later moved to Philadelphia PA, then to New Jersey. Do you happen to know if the guy in your photo is the Warren Gregory I am describing? Thanks
