I WAS SO CRAZY ABOUT HIS LOOK OF JUST BEING BEAUTIFULLY HANDSOME (not sure if those words are grammar-correct, but it sounds good) FROM WATCHING EPISODES OF MIAMI VICE. TO SHOW HOW CONFUSED I AM/WAS. I THOUGHT GREGORY WAS THE ARTIST SINGING 'CARIBBEAN QUEEN & THERE WILL BE SAD SONGS. UP TO THIS DAY I CAN'T BELIEVE. THE VOICE & LYRICS ARE SO SIMILAR TO GREGORY'S LYRIC-BOOK. WHEN I START WORKING WITH GARY & DREW, I GOT A "101" ON THE ABBOTT COLLECTION. BUT THEY DID AGREE THERE WAS SOME SIMILARITIES WITH THE VOICES & LYRICS OF BILLY OCEAN & GREGORY ABBOTT SONGS. SO I HOPE NO ONE IN THE ABBOTT CAMP WILL BE OFFENDED AT MY CONFUSION. MAYBE IF I WAS LIVING IN AMERICA WHEN THE SHAKE YOU DOWN SONG WAS RELEASE I WOULD BE MORE AWARE OF WHATS REAL.

WHICH IS A DAMN SHAME, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND GARY ANDERSON..SIGNED IT MONTHS AGO..MAYBE AS LONG AS A YEAR AGO. i HAVE'NT READ IT YET. BUT, HE DID READ WHAT HE WROTE TO ME SO DID HIS SISTER & A COUPLE OF OUR EMPLOYEES....AND THE ONLY REASON I AM HERE NOW...IS...BECAUSE I AM STAYING IN BED ALL DAY...WAITING FOR THE BLIZZZZZZARD..ABOUT TO INVADE MY PROPERTY. STAYING HOME ON DAYS LIKE THIS IS A NECESSITY FOR US BECAUSE OUR DRIVEWAY IS ABOUT 1/2 MILE LONG. SO PICTURE THAT WITH 18" OF SNOW. ITS ANOTHER FULL TIME JOB FOR US. ANYHOW, ENOUGH OF MY SNOW STORIES. I COULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THE MANY MEMORIES I HAVE BECAUSE OF YOUR SONGS..ESP SHAKE YOU DOWN. I WILL GIVE YOU A PREVIEW. MY HUSBAND GARY IS A TWIN & HIS BROTHER'S NAME IS GREG. AND I MET HIM 1ST..NOT KNOWING THERE WAS ANOTHER. THE NEXT DAY I SAW GARY..THINKING IT WAS GREG. THIS WAS DURING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON 1986. SHAKE YOU DOWN WAS HOT ON THE VINYL AND EVERY BROTHER WAS SCORING WITH THE GIRLS BECAUSE OF SYD....I WAS ABOUT AGE 20..AND THIS WAS THE FIRST I WAS ATTRACTED TO A BROTHER (well in those days they were called Oreos) AND YOURS TRULY IS THE COLOR OF IVORY SOAP (that's what I was called in those circles during the 80s) AND OREOS WAS OFF LIMITS TO MY PARENTS. SO IT WAS A HIDE n SEEK SITUATION. ANYHOW, WHEN I MET GARY I THOUGHT IT WAS GREG.....(none of them mentioned the other) GARY WAS THE ONE WHO HAD MY PHONE#. WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE FOR MONTHS & I THOUGHT IT WAS GREG. THE REASON I NEVER SPOKE HIM..IS... BECAUSE WE WORKED IN THE SAME STORE AND I THOUGHT HE WAS SHY IN PERSON..BUT ON THE PHONE..IT WAS A SHAKE YOU DOWN..SITUATION. (It was Gary on the phone not Greg) I WAS SO NAIVE. AND ITS SO HILARIOUS...WHEN WE LOOK BACK AND TALK ABOUT IT. SO FROM THEN MR. GREGORY ABBOTT....GARY HAVE TO BE PROVING EVERY THING TO ME....I ALWAYS MAKE HIM FEEL..ITS THE END.....FEELING LIKE ITS OVER. THOSE 3 SONGS OF YOURS WAS THE CORE OF OUR COURTSHIP ..AND GUESS WHAT?.. GREG IS STILL SHY AND MY PARENTS STILL DON'T APPROVE OF MY OREO..BUT THEY ADORE OUR 4 KIDS (ages 21-9). THE 21 YEAR-OLD GOES TO BERKELEY COLLEGE AND SHE'S MAJORING IN ONE YOUR 'LIKES' ITS a small, small WORLD. DON'T YOU THINK?. BTW..Just in case you missed it I am one of those 36 from that office Gary mentioned on your blog. One day we are going to show up in your face. Its a must 'to do on our Bucket List.

Monte Carlo Monaco Comments: We (my twin sister (Clover & I) speak & write English better than we can write Espanol. We were trying to be discreet, by writing in Spanish on your blog. So we hit the floor when we saw you translate our message. Our other sister Olympia, went "loco". And our younger sister She's 43) Aliza knows how to write the Spanish grammar very well. But I thought Google Translation was correct. After we posted it, Clover remembered Aliza saying.."if you follow Google you're going to sound like idiots" Well let me clarify what we were trying to write on the blog. First thing, we did see you in the crowd years ago. I thought it was Monaco but Olympia said it was Portugal and Clover & my father said it was Spain. You see, my mother is from Spain Olympia live in Portugal with her mother & Clover & I live in Monaco with our Father. We all visited those cities very often and our father was a musician (guitarist) for several bands in Europe. He said we saw you on stage performing (but I don't remember where or when. I just remember seeing you outside somewhere. Clover says I am writing too much, you probably won't have the time to read. Well I think you will take the time, since you translate for your readers on the blog. But I am going to exit now. Olympia says she will sign the guestbook another time. her answer will be different from Clover's & mine. Olympia, is your age BUT we were born on your birthday (2nd April )and although Aliza is 10-15 years younger than us, she too was born in April on the 12th. Our father seem to have been busy with the birds n bees during the month of August. Clover says "too much information"...and oops!! did not write what we were trying to say on blog. Your translation was correct except for the last sentence I think we were suppose to write "your loyal fans forever..Which we are..and we hope to see you when we visit America next Spring (2013) Best of Luck to you From Crimson & Clover reply: Well thanks for writing in and clarifying I was confused because I have never been to Monte Carlo and the translation made it worse- but I needed to know what you were saying... lol. I HAVE been to Portugal. (One of the most beautiful places on Earth). It must have been there. Gregory
