There was absoloutely NOBODY like Roy Orbison. I saw him in 1981 (I think) in Lubbock, Texas, when they had the un-veiling of the Buddy Holly statue at the Civic Center. Tony Joe White, the Crickets, and Roy Orbison performed, though I'm sure there were others. I think I had seats in the 5th or 6th row. This was the first time I ever saw Roy and I was about to find out why he was called "the human jukebox" as he just stood on stage, sang in the microphone, and never moved a muscle. No need to run around and show off on stage.........he just sang the songs and shyly thanked the audience after each song. I'll never forget him doing the ending for the song CRYING about 3 or 4 times that night as people continuously stood and cheered every time he hit "those" notes at the end of the song.........I can still picture it in my mind as if it were yesterday and can still hear him hit those notes and the loud ovations he received! WOW!!!! I still get goosebumps just thinking about it................ HA HA…….great story! There was absoloutely NOBODY like Roy Orbison.

It really gives us a chance to get to know you and Dick. Roy will always be atop my musical Mt. Rushmore. One of a kind singer/songwriter and one of a kind person. Thanks for sharing.
