“Dream of Sailing” is a short poetry-film set in a faraway hospital where the narrator, recently returned from war, imagines a life at sea. But will he ever leave the confines of the infirmary?
Thanks to everyone who played a part in creating this film.
And now… here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the all-new “Fear the G-Drive” album. “E Is for Elephant” is the opening number on the record. It’s also a fun new lyric video (edited by Nico Sotomayor).
All the images in this video come from the spots where the record was made. TW’s Mancave Studio in Calistoga! TOP 1 Studio in San Mateo! And Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland!
Fear the G-Drive. Made in California. Turn it up to 11. If you dare!
BOOM. New Album Available now. Spotify. Apple / iTunes. Bandcamp. Anywhere. Everywhere. Like it. Love it. Share it. Buy it. Review it. Everything you need to know is on our website:

Excited to reveal the cover for a NEW ALBUM coming soon from a new group called Fear the G-Drive, which is also the name of the record.
SuperMega thanks to graphic designer extraordinaire Chris Held for our super-cool cover.
While working on a new album recently, I took a few minutes to record this song from my favorite album from my favorite band. It’s one of the first songs I ever learned to play and I’m still trying to get it right … but here’s where it is now.
“I’m One”
Written by Pete Townshend
From “Quadrophenia” by The Who
Performed by Greg Roensch & Jules Leyhe

March 25, 2023 – It was a wonderful night at The Lost Church in San Francisco when Jules Leyhe and I played together live for the first time. Thanks to The Lost Church … and to Jules … and to the amazing people who came from near and far. As one audience member said, it was “a beautiful performance.” I’m a bit biased, but I agree 100%.

I’m very excited to announce an upcoming show with the fantastic Jules Leyhe on March 25, 2023 at The Lost Church in San Francisco (new North Beach location). Come on down and check it out!
RL and I visited Joshua Tree last year. Always an inspirational place. And in the spirit of that inspiration, I wrote a few songs … including this one.
Huge thanks to Jules Leyhe for hanging out with me in the Rock-n-Roll Oasis. If you haven’t checked out this talented guitarist (and all-around super-nice dude), now’s the time … and the time is now.
Check out the video of our performance here.
Fun fact: I get power from my Patti Smith “Horses” scarf.
I was happy to sneak in a last day in the studio in 2022. So long to you, and hello to 2023.
Thanks to Jules Leyhe (guitar), Marty Izenson (sax), and Danielle Goldsmith (audio engineer) for helping to make it a fun and productive day at Tiny Telephone Recording studio.
The hours flew by so fast (at least I thought so).

Super fun to see my short animated film “Don’t Forget to Pack Your Hand Grenade” on the big screen at the 4 Star Theatre… thanks to Another Hole in the Head Film Festival for the fun event and Q&A session.
After seeing so many movie theaters shut down over the years, it’s wonderful to see the 4 Star back in business.
If you missed it on the big screen… Another Hole in the Head Film Festival 2022 plays online until Dec 18. You can watch “Don’t Forget to Pack Your Hand Grenade” as part of the Strictly Local 3 group of films.
