Greg
had always dreamed of performing in America and in one fateful
night at London’s famous “Talk of London,” he
was discovered by a Miami club owner. “It was meant to be”
Greg said. ”The USA was to become my new home, thanks to
that one man and his belief in me.”
The

He soon became the opening act for the stars, including Jay Leno,
Don Rickles and Joan Rivers. Greg's career was off and running.

a thing. I'm still that same country boy at heart, living my dream
…to be “an entertainer.”
