Wowed By Tony

I would like to tell about my first Tony Roi experience. My husband and I went to Branson for Spring Break the last week of March 2006, as we started to plan which shows we would like to see we learned not all shows were running at that time.

Our week began Sunday evening when we went to see our first show. It was the Mickey Gilley Show, a very good show.

Thursday morning came and we went to the Red Skelton Show, another good show. At intermission an announcer came out and mentioned the Tony Roi Show at 2:00 P.M., I thought just another Elvis impersonator, I had seen many before and I was never impressed.

I went to see Tony that afternoon March 30th, and WOW I was blown away. When Tony came on the stage and started to sing and move I thought I would just die right there. My heart was pounding my pulse racing and I could hardly breathe.

I watched so many women scream and I thought I could not act like that but before long I too was caught up in it all.

I watched ladies go on stage to have their picture made with Tony and I wanted to do that too but I was a little shy and did not go.

I did purchase a picture of Tony and stood in line to get his autograph. As I stood in line I observed Tony’s interaction with his fans and I was just amazed how Tony took time with each person and then came my turn he was so sweet, humble, and gracious. Tony signed my picture and gave me a kiss and I was hooked completely!

I returned the next day March 31st sat in the front row. I was amazed how much Tony gave of himself at the performance.

A group of Red Hat ladies were there that day and they were having the time of their lives. Tony gave some special attention to them and they loved it.

I had my picture made with Tony that day and received one of his special kisses. I also purchased one of his scarves and let him wipe his beautiful sweat on it. He put it around my neck and gave me another kiss WOW!

When the show was over I went to stand in line to get my picture and scarf autographed and of course one more kiss.

When I left there that day I had a song on my lips a smile on my face and a spring in my step that had not been there for a long time.

My husband is so sweet about the whole thing he understands how I feel and is taking me to see Tony for my birthday the first week of May. I also will be attending Fan Appreciation Day May 27th.

I just cancelled my June vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to Branson so I could spend two weeks at Tony’s House. Who needs to look at the Blue Pacific Ocean when there is WONDERFUL and GORGEOUS Tony to see!!!

I would like to add one last comment. I remember the headlines the day Elvis died. They said “The King Is Dead & The Day Music Died” but the King and Music is alive in Tony Roi!!!!!
