Anche senza tradurre le frasi sopra riportate (da Wikipedia), ma solo leggendo i nomi altisonanti si ha la misura della grandezza del talento di Greg Boyer. Volendo rimanere nel tema 'Princiano' introdotto con la collaborazione di Matt Fink con NAIF, Boyer è stata la Tromba dei New Power Generation dal 2001 al 2005 dove ha incrociato la strada di Maceo Parker, Tommy Barbarella, Sonny T e Michael B ('vecchie conoscenze' della Nostra :)).
La collaborazione con NAIF di Greg Boyer (Trombone) potremo ascoltarla nel brano POCHE.
