It would take an extremely jaded heart not to smile and tap your feet, much less dance around the room, to Greg Poppleton.

Greg’s pleasing, vintage voice... impressive portamento slides on "The Charleston"... refreshes well-worn standards again and again on “Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue” and “I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate.”
