HEY G
IF YOU HAD EAR-O-VISION ….U WOULD HAVE HEARD THE SCREAMS FROM ALL OF US AT THE OFFICE AND OVER @ GARY’S HOUSE.
WE WERE SCREAMING BECAUSE..OF THE ANSWER YOU GAVE FOR THE Q..FROM DAVID & CHERI. IT WAS NOT ABOUT THE GIRLS IN THE VIDEO. THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE GIRL WHO YOU WROTE THE SYD SONG FOR…. IS SHE IN YOUR PAST OR PRESENT. SO WAS THIS A MISUNDERSTANDING ON YOUR END. BECAUSE MARTHA DID ASK THE Q..CORRECTLY….
DAVID & CHERI JUST CALLED IN FROM THE AIRPORT IN JAMAICA..SCREAMING TOO. LOL
March 31, 2013 @ 6:20 AM
Say it like you mean it..EAR-O-VISION? I love it
Okay G this one’s 4 U
That interview was a slam-dunk..but no 3-pointer
In other words we did not get our Cinderella ending

Good Morning Mr Abbott
I am Wanda in charge of setting up the office (GanD Studios) for your very special interview tonight. At this time I would like to invite you to Skype in to see the drama unfold (your own words:-)
We have listened to all your other interviews..thanks to Drew & Gary..but this one is extra special, because we as a team have united so much this month..anxiously waiting for March 30th. ..I hope you can feel the love….
AND Boss 1&2…kept your songs playing all day,,everyday…instead of the usual two-hour limit…in “tube-language” They went viral..lol
However, not all will be present at the office location…maybe about 20 people. & their guest..I know the 15 that is going to Jamaica with Drew & Gary will be at their house, because they depart from JFK as soon as you say Adios 🙂 You could also Skype in over there too. So please let me know asap….My cell# is 347 360 6735….E-address wanda_francis@ymail.com
Musically..i..love yours
Wanda
March 30, 2013 @ 6:01 PM
I absolutely “feel the love”! It inspires me to jump back into the studio and create something beautiful. It also warms my heart to see you all having so much fun. ONE LOVE… I will try and skype in. Gregory

Hi Wanda
So how was that Red-Carpet-Event…you guys planned for Gregory’s Radio Show.?
I thought the folks from GanD would be here..giving a detailed report of their time at the carnival in Jamaica. I can’t hear from my folks over there, either. By now all engines should be revved and ready to gyrate at the Road March on Sunday
Gregory if you can see this check your @gen-email and tel me here on your blog if you received it. I sent it from PINK BEACH CLUB..Bermuda
Chow 2 All
April 1, 2013 @ 5:26 AM
Yes, I got your email. Thanks for letting me know… Its beautiful.
April 1, 2013 @ 6:05 AM
You are welcome Gregory.
The only reason I am not in Jamaica..is because I have a full house of wedding guest.
The couple have chosen the package that includes your songs. Their first dance as husband & wife..will be to Rhythm & Rhyme. They want to use IF YOU BELIEVE..at the church..but we cannot find that song on any of your CDs. My husband Ray Williams has been searching stores in Miami & Fort Lauderdale..and its not online either. For the church we need the actual CD. Ray is hoping he finds it before his flight leaves on Tuesday. (the wedding is on Saturday in Bermuda)..So if you know of a place. let me know asap. Thanks
One Love

April 4, 2013 @ 7:20 AM
Yes Gregory..I have come along way to join in on the fun. Arrived in Montego Bay yesterday with 5 friends from Sweden & Russia. One of them has been your loyal fan for years. Dana Morgan Ross (a native of The Grand Cayman Islands) known her from a teenager…we met in Lund..Also brought along a couple Russian & Swedish friends. I’ll make sure they sign your guest book, before they depart from Jamaica.
Met up with the other folks from NY & other Caribbean Islands. I think my group is the last to arrive…making it..64 people on the road to the last hurrah of Carnival 2013..which ends in Kingston on April 7th.
I am the only one awake now…went to a fete that energized me too much 🙂 Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
Blessings to you & the Family

April 6, 2013 @ 8:59 AM
Yes Swetlana–you have come a long way. Just keep an eye on Dana 🙂
And learn all the dances–Wine Yuh Waist—-Swing Yuh Engine–The Butterfly & Downtown.

Hi Gregory
So happy you’ve decided to release Rhythm Rhyme as a single. Its long overdue 🙂
We (Adam & I had a poor connection to the live interview, and we came off the yacht, just to listen. Anyhow, after listening to it On Demand..we realize your connection with Cyrus was just as bad.
Hope you enjoyed doing the interview, as much as we enjoyed hearing you speak.
All the best
March 21, 2013 @ 7:45 AM
Gregory, could not hear you during the live interview.. but later on we got it clear enough from the link, you posted here. Great that you will be featuring the next best thing to SYD as a single. Rhythm & Rhyme is such a melody..that we’ll never forget.
Ok for now..looking forward to the Q&A..on the other show.
March 21, 2013 @ 4:10 PM
Hi Gregory
Based on what I’ve read and heard about you..and what you’ve said about yourself, you seem like a person who …dots..every..i…and crosses every ..t.. so all those mishaps during your interview with Cyrus, must have been annoying.
Cheer up..Better must come
March 22, 2013 @ 3:17 AM
I was wondering about that too, but its always a pleasure to hear what Gregory has to say. Even with the interruptions I give the interview a “thumps up”
Peace
March 22, 2013 @ 11:17 AM
Good morning Gregory,
I am rising up to the shining sun in your great city, Manhattan. Wish you were in town & I know you wish the same, because of the meet & greet that begins today. Like you, I’m Bi-Coastal between here & Key Biscayne…but I’m a Napa-Valley girl. So you are living in my backyard. 🙂 ..so close but no cigar. Anyhow, I am very pleased to here about the next step for Rhythm, Rhyme. When do you think the single will be released? And for success it must be a cd. Most of your fans like to hold you in the palm of their hands, & then some. We’re not too fond of the download, mp3 business Some things are just better..old school…Don’t yuh think?.
See Ya & Love Ya..like sunshine
From Stella
The FearlessOne
March 22, 2013 @ 3:34 PM
Thanks for this feedback. It’s really good to know this 🙂 Enjoy your meet and greet today. Sing one for me.
March 25, 2013 @ 3:27 AM
Yes I agree with Stella
Online business is a rip off..You have to be on your Ps & Qs..or else you are billed for things you did not order..OR know you ordered it. The Internet fine print is tooooooo fine to read. Just the other day I tried to post a review on Amazon (they sent me an email with that request) and at the end of review…a purchase was required to post review…I said “WHAT’..and exited.
So buyers..beware
Hey..G i was trying to post my picture here? how is that done?

The pictures show up when you register with gravatar. To do that, the next time you leave a comment- you need to hover over your “empty” image and then click it. That click will take you to gravatar to signup and you will get a confirmation email. You can then upload as many images as you wish and switch between them etc… Hope this helps. /md

Good Morning Mr Gregory Abbott
I started off formal, so I can remind myself to keep it professional. Since one of your interviews is happening on my 50th birthday (3/30) i get to ask my own question, plus i will be going into the off, although is an official day off for me because “its ma-birthday” and its company’s gift to all of us. I do not have a Gmail account, so you will have to forward my question to The Muzicheadz ladies.
My Q…is >>>>What were you doing professionally between 1979 -1986
Okay, I kept it pure..for now 🙂

Dear Gregory
Its been a blast for me too reading what your fans & my family have written on your blog
I grew up with the drama..and because of my parents…the drama lives for ever.. because of your music.. that plays on & on..esp when they get together with the cousins. sisters brothers & In-laws…Your song Reuinion has been a constant “jungle” in my head all week because its the theme song when they are around. Disney World will never be the same. That is where we are at Spring Break..hangin with our parents who wanted to experieince The MTV Daytona Show..so we chaperone them all week..lol
Much success 2 U

View of you singing those ..groove ballads
I might be new on the blog, but I’ve been around your world more years, than I would like to admit. Love the way you successfully..live your life, without the bureaucracy and yet you still had time to spread the love, and most importantly..keep your dignity.
Can’t say I don’t pay attention to your lyrics.
Namaste

I have been enjoying what the ladies have to say. And my-Cherie-amore and I enjoyed your interview with Ray, & we have “lock-in” the date for the one with the ladies from Down Under.
Keep the Miracles coming.
March 7, 2013 @ 9:26 AM
Good Morning Gregory
You’ve inspired me to start reading and researching quotes…something I’ve also encouraged my students to do. I am especially liking the ones you have posted recently.
“It is never too late to be what you might have been”..I gave this quote an Oscar, Emmy & a Peoples Choice Award.
I also like the ‘friendship” quote you posted above… under Spring Interviews.
Well let me take this opportunity to add a quote of my own. I like this one because it reminds me of the relationship I have with my significant other.
FRIENDSHIP….its one of the blessings, where you can afford to be stupid with someone.
In your own words..DROP YOUR MASK…
Because of my profession (a teacher) you’re expected to act a certain way, so I have to find a way to do things that mean the most to me=).

EACH TIME I COME HERE…I SPEND THE TIME READING WHAT YOU AND YOUR FANS WRITE. GOOD THAT YOU ARE SPREADING YOUR WINGS MORE INTO THE ENTERTAINING FIELD..AND KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH THE LADIES..IS ‘KEY’. I PERSONALLY WAITING FOR YOU TO RELEASE THE SONG(S)..YOU RECORDED WITH WHITNEY.

March 6, 2013 @ 6:32 AM
Hooooooo!!!..Love the intro…..
I guess you heard my cry on Google..when I realize the interview with the Muzic Ladies would be at the end of the month. Well you sure ease my mind, with this interview. Still looking to meet with my girls in NY. I will be there from this weekend….not too happy to leave the sunshine here in San Juan, for the gloomy weather in NY….But hanging with my girls..is long overdue. The last time we got together, we invited you to join us the next time..and here we go again…-)

Whats up Gregory
First time on your blog..but my lady has written in your guestbook and here, too. I have been a fan from the early 90’s. Always I admired your song writing skills. And finally found someone who shared my love of Groove Ballads and songs with a message..like Miracles..Things That Mean The Most & I Like What You Do. Briella, loves that one. Well, its great that you kept the fans alive with your thoughts & music..and just like me..looking forward to seeing you on the vison-media..someday soon.
Peace & Blessings
