Well, I have been around for a lot more than 25 years. (I am 55)
I have played lead many years. My first mentor was Chuck Peterson, from the Tommy Dorsey, and Artie Shaw's bands among others.
Here in Detroit, and MOST other places, G above high C is just a G, sorry....
Double C starts the Doubles, Double G is ABOVE Double C.
