NEIL MCCOY IS THE REAL MCCOY

Not every celeb or personality is a household name but the magic is they usually are the gem in the forest. Country singer NEIL MCCOY was in town performing at a up and personal venue and though I admired his talent ,I truly never was a big fan. NOT UNTIL TONIGHT. When he sings a blind man can see that he enjoys and is very spiritual when he sings not a couple of his big hits but every song. His voice still resonates and I found a little different from the fraternity of other country singers. After the show, he waited and greeted all that wanted to say hello, get an autograph or picture where he took the time to share some kind words and in many cases some great stories. I wanted to meet him to say Thank You for all that he does for our veterans and when I did when I approached him, he had one of the great smiles anyone has not seen in a while. He commented on the picture that was taken with Charley Pride and then he looked at me and said " Do You know who You look like". I smiled as no celeb has done that before with many people saying in the past Billy Crystal, Gene Wilder and not what I expected. . "ERNEST T. BASS " and as puzzled as I looked he said that is a compliment. First time ever I have been mentioned with Bass's name but I thanked him and shook his hand again. His manager LES MARTINES should also be applauded as he was more than friendly and never hesitated to answer any questions of the great crowd that attended. My wife and I walked away sharing our thoughts and wondered why not more personalities could be as classy as Neil as it has made me a true fan of this fine gentleman and if You meet or hear him sing You too will be impressed and feel like everyone else did in his presence.
