Wow! 50 years of GODDO! Greg Godovich joined my band on stage one time in Pickering, Ontario about 30 years ago. I’m so happy to see Goddo, the band, still going. I have re-blogged your post. Hopefully this will help bring more eyes on it, and more readers to what you do here. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing all of this great information.

I was lucky enough to share the stage with Greg Godovich once. I was already a fan and that experience was really a thrill. Some great music from this classic band.

This has become a hot topic over the past few years… Lynyrd Skynyrd, for example, has none of the original lineup. Your question is a really good one. I’m not sure at what point a band stops being that band. In this case, I think, if Greg Godovitz is on the stage, it will still feel like Goddo.

marty Morin is in the band, he was the original drummer. And Greg has said Gino has health issues that prevent him from playing.

It looks like Marty Morin still in at that point. Has that changed since August?
