met G caddying for him at a club in LA one day and mentioned I liked his stuff he did with Jeff Lorber - and then he said he never recorded anything with Lorber - insisting on it with his friend who was there with him as I referenced some Lorber albums I thought I saw G's name on - and for the rest of the day he joked around about that yet was also serious about it - repeating it many times during the walk that he never recorded with Lorber - yet I knew that he did and still have no idea why he was denying it and was so adamant about it
