| Comments: | Gregg, in about 1976-77 you lived in the Glenmore Manor apartments off of Government St. in Baton Rouge.My roomate Greg Belle and I lived across the breezeway from you. We really enjoyed the few times we hung out with you and your roomies, but most of all I remember the unbelievable nights at the Kingfish! ...man, i'll never forget. Congratulations on your successful career and keep on keepin' on! See you at Phil Brady's on 5/23/08! |

| Comments: | Gregg,
Long time-no see. It's great to see that you're doing well. After spending many years (decades?) in the music business, you are still the best guitar player that I have ever had the pleasure to have worked with (and I've worked with some of the best). I've always wondered how things would have turned out if we all hadn't been so young and inexperienced. I hope that you have fond memories of the days of Kriss Kross, as short-lived as they were. I have always had the greatest of respect for your musical abilities, and wish you all the best. I'm still producing a few shows a year, mostly benefits, with artists like Bonnie Raitt, CSN, Little Feat and others. My wife and I have temporarily moved to KY, and opened a bed and breakfast. We kept our house in DC, and I still spend about one week a month in the DC area. I signed up for your mailing list and hope to see you perform sometime soon. Take care, and good luck. Sincerely, Mike Distefano firecat@iname.com |

| Comments: | Dear Gregg:
Enjoyed your show with special guests from Baton Rouge at Phil Brady's!!! It was an extra unplanned treat to meet Mr.s Sundance, Larry Garner, Kenny Neal, Oscar Harpo in the crowd and to speak to them and find that they're really downhome people. You also talked to a friend-he was in red coveralls, Mr Johnson and you remembered his chicken scratch!! Thanks for your warm and genuine personality. I've been watching you since 1978 and have enjoyed every show you've played for us!!! I'm also looking forward to your new album. I'm not complaining of course, but just to let you know, I've only been waiting for 5 years since "Lightning Strike"!!! Just to share a little with you-my favorite blues guitarists, are, Guitar Shorty, Lonnie Mack, Roy Buchaanan, Eric Clapton, Duanne Allman, and Gregg Wright!!!! much love sent from the Broussard bloodline to the Gregg Wright family!!!! and yea, you really blew me away recently when you added "People Get Ready"" to your songlist!!!! May our Father in Heaven bless you Heidi, Cheyenne and Gregg!!! Take care always!!!! Be strong, be faithful, be good and be "cool"!!!!! your friend indeed, Kent Broussard |

| Comments: | The show at Phil Brady's a couple of weeks ago was as great as ever. Never miss you guys when you're in town (BR). When I see Eddie "out and about" these days he keeps me up on the schedule; but this show kind of snuck up on us. Reading some of the entries in the Dreambook-- it's funny to read of some of the venues (THE BEAR's DEN--((I've been there))). Personally, my favorite memories were of the Kingfish. Please take care and hurry back.

Thank you so much to you and your beautiful daughter for such an inspired performance yesterday at St. Elmo Village. You BOTH were AWESOME!!! I knew there was something real special about you when I met you at Thornhill Broome Beach camping last summer with our families. Perhaps you might want to use some oboe or English horn on some upcoming. I'm building a studio called Rising Stars Music Workshop with musician/educator/producer/arranger/composers. Hope to feature you in a Master Class one day real soon! Stay cool! Sky's the limit! Blessed Love, Forever, Anna Fisher |

Seems like a life time ago. I've turn my life,you might say, a full 360 degees. I don't think there was a doubt that you were focused and it seems you've kept it that way. I'm happy for your success.If possible drop me a line,it would be nice to hear from you. I'm still in the area. May the Lord be with you. Johnny |

Great music!! I am in California now, but I will go along with Bear and Kim Purpera to say that it would be simply fantastic to see you play an old local venue like the Ceder Club Lounge (Bear's Den). If something so sweet could ever happen, send me an e-mail and some friends and me will make the journey to Pointe Coupee to see the great show. Man I love that place. Anyway, keep up the good sound. -Chuck |

I was there with my sister & her boyfriend Richard Manzanares(guiter player also)..he talked to you on the boat ride back from Catalina to Long Beach. Do you by any chance have a brother or maybe related in another way to a man by the name of Karlis Wright? The reason I'm asking is because your daughter resembles 1 of his son's. So please tell me the beautiful woman you are married to isn't old enough to be your daughter's bio mom.... |

Nothing but GREAT! I'm sure we'll be seeing you again. Last time I saw you was back in 1980 or 81. You came to a open field in the back of Church Point, that was a while back..

| Comments: | Hi Gregg. I'm so glad to see you're still doing what you love. What great times we had in Baton Rouge in the 70s - memories that are tattooed on my brain. I still think you are the most awesome guitar player in the world. I had the original vinyl of Khamsin and just noticed that Randy Jackson played bass on two of the songs. Is that the same Randy Jackson from American Idol? I know he is originally from Louisiana. Let me hear from you sometime. Are you on iTunes? If so, I'm so downloading some of your music, like now! |

| Comments: | Hello Gregg,
Caught you at the recent Tawe Delta gig Swansea. I'm that funky woman whose place you stayed at after your very first gig at the T.Delta. It was such a pleasure to meet you, something i often think about. Terry and Louise discovered gold the day they met you, the man and his music, that is. Due to illness, i had to stop work for Blues Matters. However, i eventually ressurected and am now a qualified practioner of vibrational healing, otherwise known as Reconnective Healing. It's good medicine. I do of course, keep on with the Blues, they are probably one of the main things that kept me going through a seriously troubled time.That and my too mean to die streak. See you somewhere down the line amigo, Fond regards, Jacqueline. |

Just wanted you to know we both loved your music but she did very much. I feel I should let you know is has passed on to a better place. But I am sure she is still listening. I think you and your band used to come over to her place occasionaly. As an older musician, I am glad to see you are still wooing the crowds. Hope to catch you in Baton Rouge. Skeeter.

It was a real nice to see how well you have done for yourself, knowing where you started. Someday they will make a movie of your life, and all of the high's and low's you hit all those years ago. All of us still live in Maryland and I guess that will never change. I have to sit here and laugh when I hear my one son downstairs practicing his bass, and all I think of is you and Becky all those years ago. I still tell people of how you looked just like Jimmy Hendricks and sounded like him too. So happy to see that you have done so well for yourself. |

I gave Jimmy a recommendation and he must have mentioned you since he looked you up on the net and told me he found you, so I did the same and, voila! Great to see you're still tearing it up! Let me know if you ever tour the East coast. I'd be glad to put a rhythm section together for you(me on drums of course!). Seeing all the letters from the Louisiana followers really brought back some memories, all good! Gee, where's my "Gris Gris" rubber alligator? Get in touch!

Way beyond the "I'll fix your flat tire Merle/Earl" (I never knew the words, and thank God for that!!!) which we were listening to in 1986 in Baton Rouge!! I will admit that Rich and Bobby were pretty good dj'ing. Everything has come so far. That was and is, a really important part of my life...I learned what is music and what is NOT. So did my brother and the majority of his friends from Natchitoches, LA! Thanks so much for a really memorable flashback in Lafayette in December, '04. Thanks for being a large part of our growing up!! Have a great 2005. Your friend, Janie |

While I'll definitely be in Baton Rouge for the show, what are the chances of a few more performance dates while you're down here? A show in Lafayette would be a great addition to the itinerary. Whatever the case, this is spectacular news. I really can't wait.

I remember seeing you perform many times with your bands Kriss Kross and Shadow Box at Prince George's Community College and other places around Maryland and Virginia back around '72 - '75. After you left the Suitland area, I never heard anymore about you, though I did hear you were playing with the Jacksons at one point. Now that I found your website, I'll keep an eye on your itinerary. It would be great to get a chance to see you play again around the Washington, D.C. area. Take care. |

| Comments: | Hey Gregg,
I can't believe I found you on the net! and am very impressed with your career. I live in New Orleans and remember seeing your name around town in the early 80's. But it was one night at Ole Man Rivers when you joined our hometown favorites ZEBRA on stage. It was an unforgettable performance. I hope that you put new orleans on your tour schedule. You know you and Zebra at the house of blues would be an awesome show. take care!!!!!! |

| Comments: | great to find a Gregg Wright site after a long search. I am
a fan from the 70's around Lafayette, LA. I still have Kham Sin vinyl in great shape. Still have a Gregg Wright t-shirt. I saw several incarnations of bands like Gregg Wright's G Force and more. saw performances in Lafayette, Opelousas, Breaux Bridge, St. Martinville, Tee-Mamou, Mire (at Baker's Acres) and more. Wish you'd get back here again. I still play Gregg's music on the radio!! good luck, hope to see and hear you soon |

| Comments: | I was fortunate enough to be working behind the bar at the
Wellington Vaults when Gregg made his two sunday night visits. I was even more fortunate that Rob Coupe (where are you now?), the landlord, persuaded Gregg that I played a mean enough blues harp to join him (and the rest of the Left Hook) for a quick jam. I'll remember that night as long as I live - I have never seen such virtuosity on any instrument. That guitar just seemed to be a part of him, and I'd implore anyone that hasn't seen/heard Gregg play to do so ASAP. Any chance of including Dublin (or even better, Drogheda) in a UK & Ireland tour? (guess who's emigrated across the Irish Sea!) Failing that I'll try to be in Leicester for July 20th All the best, Phil |

| Comments: | hello Gregg,
enjoyed looking at your website, we'll add a link to your site from our Fizgig website so that all your fans in Lincolnshire can find out what you're doing. we still remember well the Gregg Wright gigs at the Black Swan, Horncastle (which sadly doesn't have live music any more) and The Axe & Cleaver in Boston - Malc's still keeping the music going there though sadly former owner Jackie died a while back. People still ask if we know what you're doing, now we'll be able to keep them informed & link them to your site. cheers & all the best, Tom & Ali (Fizgig) |

| Comments: | I followed Gregg all over Baton Rouge as a 17 year old in
1978. I also dated Pick, his congo player for a while. He gave me a brand new vinyl release of Kham Sin which unfortunately got mixed up in a pile of old records that were thrown out. Those were some wild times and I think of them often. I still have several newspaper clippings of gigs he did around Baton Rouge. The one at the Paramount Theater was a memorable one. The first time I saw him was at a free concert on the LSU campus. I thought Hendrix was reincarnated. As his brilliance, talent and giftedness emerged, I was simply in awe of him. I'll never forget him or his music. |
