It is with shock and great sadness that we tell you of the loss of a familiar voice on WAMC, silenced much too soon. Greg Haymes died this week after a short battle with cancer. For nearly 15 years, Greg would join us on Northeast Report, once a month on Fridays, to let us know which bands and artists would be taking to area stages, and keep us up to date on the latest releases. He was a musician, a founding member of Albany's Blotto, and played in several more groups and pairings. Greg was also a journalist with the Times Union and his website Nippertown. Here, WAMC remembers Greg with a 2017 segment in which he featured his favorite Randy Newman covers.
