Music Style Any

Musical Influences Elvis, Al Jolson, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, and Many Others

Artist History I just started singing about 5 years ago doing impersonations. Since that time I've written 5 songs because people asked me to sing in my voice. So here they are... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been singing ever since I can remember, - you know, like everybody else along with the radio or my records or should I say my father's records. I loved all the old songs even as a kid. The music back than was made to accompany the vocalist and some very beautiful songs were made(in my opinion). Don't misunderstand me I love all kinds of music. I was just brought up listening to that ole' style music. ------------------------------- Anyway, let me tell you what happened. My wife, my little girl and I went out to eat one night. Well it just so happened that they had karaoke that night, something I heard of but never seen. I watched while we ate, and I said to my wife "that looks like fun, I think I'll try it". She said "you don't have the guts". That's all she had to say, so I put in a slip to do an Elvis song called "Teddy Bear". My wife never heard me sing before(and neither have I). When the kj called my name I was a wreck. My wife owns a Dance Studio so everyone knew her. She thought I was going to make a fool of myself so she left the room. The song started and I began to sing. I could hear a pin drop in the room no one made a noise. I was thinking "I am so bad the people hate me". When the song was over all at once the room roared. The people would not stop clapping and yelling. The kj said that I was one of best he had ever heard. I told him "I've never done this before". The people were still making a lot of noise and the kj asked me to do another song, but I told him I was too nervous. My wife came back into the room and said "that wasn't you". I told her it was and she said "I don't believe it". We almost had a line of people come up to our table to tell me what a great job I did. That's when I got the bug, so I bought a bunch of karaoke cds and learned many songs. I sang everyday until I felt good in front of people. I now put on shows for the elderly, many charities and I am employed every Saturday night at a restaurant to perform. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The name I use "The Vaudevillian" was given to me at a show I was performing at, by an older man who said I reminded him of his younger days, when he would go to a vaudeville show and see Crooners with similar style and dress. Well, by the time the show was over the whole place was calling me "The Vaudevillian". I felt so honored that, I thanked everyone there for picking my new stage name. That name means so much to me because I love alot of that ole' style music and I will never forget for as long as I live the people at that show chanting the name "The Vaudevillian" and especially that older man who started it all.
