Dear
Friends and Fans,
Thanks very much for supporting me over the years and I hope your 2007 is bright with promise and good health. I am happy to present to you, not only a special tribute to Elvis, but also the late, GREAT Ral Donner, my own rendition of the smash hit " I've Been Away For A While Now " the fabulous life story of Elvis, which was originally told and sung by Ral Donner, and was first introduced to the American public back in 1980. There are some minor retouches to the story but much of it has been redone as close to the original as possible. This is MY tribute to one of the greats, along with Ronnie McDowell and Jimmy Ellis, who inspired me in the early days to become an Elvis Tribute Artist. I hope you enjoy it and remember that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and by this project I hope that I am flattering them all.
God bless!
