Where's Greg?

Thanks for the info, I'd really no idea. It is better knowing he quit for health reasons and not because the group broke up and replaced him, or something equally devastating.

I agree. I feel very, very sorry that Greg suffers from such a condition. But for the sake of the young fans it is also good to know that the departure was amicable and that it is not a case of behind-the-scenes fighting or over-inflated egos. I found Greg's good-bye speech to be very touching. I have no doubt that his decision to leave was a very tough one. On the Wiggles official website, I read a bit about how the group was formed. It was actually created when three of the four members (Greg, Murray and Anthony) were working on a project together while studying Early Childhood Education. It is interesting to know that these three men are actually certified to be preschool teachers. Jeff was a professional musician who was brought in to round out the group. He and Anthony had performed together as members of an 80's band called The Cockroaches. To me, that is what I loved most about The Wiggles. I like knowing that the band was their own creation, and that there is a solid educational basis behind their music. They are not just some concept created by corporate television, and the members are not frustrated coulda-been rock stars filling time until a better gig comes along. Watching The Wiggles perform there is always the sense that they truly love what they do. No egos, just having fun entertaining children.

When my twins were interested in the Wiggles, I'd learned most of that, except about the Cockroaches, I learned that on Youtube while viewing other videos about Greg's departure. It is nice how the came together, and although sad, it's nice that Greg's departure was amicable, as you said. They're a great group of guys. I'm glad that was one of the shows we chose to see live in Concert. It was so much fun, and they threw in some things to keep the adults entertained as well, such as Captain Feathersword doing impressions, he did one of Ozzy Osborne that was hillarious!
