Sage squirms at the thought of being considered a living legend, won’t be nailed down on plans for live performances, and sees little in the way of creative output from the youth of today, most of them much too young to have seen him in his touring days.
GregSage lives today in Phoenix, Arizona, where he spends his time ensconced at his studio, Zeno Records, (www.zenorecords.com) where he produces bands, remasters tapes for CD format, and has released sporadic CDs of new material by the Wipers and as a solo artist.
