This was posted elsewhere and never ID'd. I would love to use the same font for a project I'm working on, any ideas?

The two e's are not the same. Do you have any hints whatsoever that this was made with a font? I'd guesse it is custom.

Sorry, no I don't know.
I'm mainly concerned with the upper case letters, I can make the rest of it work with another font. I've hunted through everything I can think of and no matches or even anything close enough, help, please?

That's a tough thing to match because it's hand-drawn and not a font. You might be able to play with a script font, or even an italic sans font, and extend or add the connectors to try to make it resemble this. You may find you can re-create it easier by tracing it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of something close. Tracing it is doable but without a sample I'm lost. The four upper case characters I need are G B R C and without something to trace from I'm stuck.
An exact match isn't necessary, but a close starting point would help.
I'll keep hunting until the pro's point me in the right direction.
Oh did I mention I'm new to this?
