Greg Baril is blues guitar player who has played with Artimus in several APB bands over the years... So here is some info on Greg Baril from the Skynyrd Frynds archives Post #243 & 244 dated 12-28-1998:
Since Greg Baril joined the ALL POINTS BULLETIN BAND he has been blowing
away audiences ever since. Until now there has been little info
available about Greg Baril, but an old Greg Bail Band Bio from 1992 has
been found and it is full of interesting info about Greg and his band,
and all the over lapping similarities. The Bio has several articles and
other info to transcribe so I will do it in several portions. I wish you
could see his band's promo photo!!!
Maybe soon...

The following is a brief list of the musicians' individual credits:

Greg's playing credentials include live performances with B. B. King,
Dave Mason, Bo Diddley and Roger Glover of Deep Purple. He has also
performed as opening act on your with Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Band, and
B. B. King to name a few. For two and one-half years, this versatile
performer also served as frontman for Eight To The Bar, one of the most
popular bands in the northeast. Also adept in the studio, Greg's done it
all, from writing, arranging, and producing to recording everything from
jingles to album tracks.

Roger Glover of Deep Purple, as well as Freddie King, Chuck Berry and
Mick Jones of Foreigner. His tour credits as an opening act include

Raised in the Jacksonville area, Clinton has over the years shared the
bill with many notables including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dave Mason, Loggins

**** As a side note: Last I heard... Clinton and Gene are now with Dr.
Hector and the Groove Injectors on KINGSNAKE RECORDS
www.kingsnakecd.com/ Dr. Hector is none other than Dru Lumbar
formerly of the old CAPRICORN RECORDS' GRINDERSWITCH band. Quite a
musical family with many overlapping with the same artists.
