"TO HONOR THE MAN and THE TIMELESS MUSIC THAT HE HAS
LEFT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO ENJOY" ... is the introduction
used in my portrayal of Legendary Superstar,
Mr. Roy Orbison.
Standing almost motionless behind
dark glasses and black Gibson guitar, I close my eyes
and with a 3+ octave range attempt to re-create for my audiences
the look and
sound of this legendary performer.
I've been performing Roy's songs for over 20 years ever since
I was accused of
lip-syncing Pretty Woman during a night of Karaoke. I have been
fortunate to appear at the
1994, 1995 and 1996 International Roy Orbison Memorial Festivals
in Wink, Texas, and
by doing so, have made many friends there, some of whom are Roy's
friends and family
who still live and work there in Wink. In 1994, I not only got
to pay tribute to Roy, but I
got to met and talk with one of Roy's best friends in the entertainment
business, the
legendary, Mr. Carl Perkins, for which I will always remember.
My intension, when appearing
as Roy Orbison, is this, .... " If only for a brief moment,
I can take you back to re-live a memory in our life, then I've
done my job.
And, if Roy is watching .... I hope I've also done him proud.
Thank You All.
