Sonya, This guy is not San Antonio's only Elvis Impersonator (And he is definitely not one of San Antonio's best). There are many wonderful and talented Elvis Impersonators here in San Antonio. Please give them all some of the credit! Thanks

Sonya was only writing about someone she found on the internet.It is not her fault that all other ETA's do not promote themselves.It is true that there are various ETA's in San Antonio that have talent but you cannot deny that the person named in this article is not one the talented ETA's in San Antonio when you look at his record.Everyone can compete in San Antonio on the same level but until they have won as many contests as he has,then you cannot dispute the list of wins.When other ETA's step up to the plate and win as many contests as he's won,then you can claim that he is not the best in SA!It is only your opinion which sounds like a bit of sour grapes on your part!Give credit where credit is due.After all,he did represent S.A.in Las Vegas and came in third place.

The other ETA's should start getting out there and displaying their talent.Get a website or myspace page and support each other.Don't develop and ego over this because after all,it's all about paying tribute to Elvis.

One more thing to add to this commentary,the person who wrote this negative opinion about this ETA should go and compete at the Strawberry Festival and see if he thinks he's the best in S.A.!Just think of it as a challenge to be judged in front of your peers!At least Ray Elvis came in second in this competition last year.Even he knows he can't win them all but if you think your better,then by all means go and try!

I have seen many ETA in SA, and surrounding areas, and he is not the best! There are better. But he is also not the worst. I commend him for his accomplishments and talent. And HBR, you assume too much! Careful....

Who is the best in your opinion?Since you say this guy is this article is not the best,what is the name of the person you think is the best!You should at least include a name with your comment!

Ok guys enough of this bickering about who the best is.I never claimed to be the best and if mm doesn't think I'm the best,then he surely is entitled to his opinion.Besides,Sonya was kind enough to write an article on me.

I didn't contact her,she called me because I was the only one she could fine thru the internet.MM is right about that there are many ETA's in San Antonio who are very talented.I did happen to mention to her exactly that but she just forgot to put that in her article.I never said that I was the only one!In fact,there are several ETA's that are good friends of mine.Tony Delgado is one who lives here in S.A.Both he and I always exchange ideas and we never fight about foolish things about who's better.I happen to respect anyone who gives most of himself to fullfill people's fantasies of having an Elvis entertainer.Unless your a full time Elvii,then you can make decent money but for most of us who are part-time,you don't make much,it's just the thrill to see those faces light up.

If anyone wants to build a website for themselves,let me know,I will be glad to help anyone.Besides,before too long,I may retire because I'm getting too old for this.

I don't care if anyone thinks I'm the best or not because for me it's just about being an entertainer.I go and sing my heart out and hope that people got their monies worth.I just hope to make a little mark that people will remember that I just loved to sing and for being the best,well I'll just let you guys decide that but it really isn't important to me.

My mother use to tell me if you don't have anything nice to say,then don't say it at all.That's what I believe in because I would rather be humble then to boast about myself.

I hope that all my ETA friends from out of town get a chance to read this who may be younger and also know that there is always someone else out there who is better but always just do your best.Always be gracefull when you lose a contest and always be humble when you win one!

Thank you for your input on this article and Sonya already told me she was sorry about not including that there are other ETA's in San Antonio so I say to all you ETA's,keep Taking Care Of Business!

Sincerely,

RayElvis

So MM,don't you feel foolish puting this ETA down when his track record has shown he has beaten the best San Antonio had to offer?

I think anyone who Knocks any ETA for trying to Keep Elvis alive is just jealous! I have met Ray Myself and he does a great job doing just that! He has the passion and the love for Elvis and it shows! There are many many Eta's who don't do justice to Elvis and its just to make money. Why not just stop the comments knocking what this woman wrote about and be happy that this is another person doing what he Loves to do!

Hello Ray Elvis, I am an ETA here in San Antonio, and you are right. The thrill we get from lighting up faces while being in Elvis character is what it is all about. The Elvis fans are energized by us as Elvis and we in turn feed off that energy. The more they want it, the more we give it to them. Five years ago that is what got me hooked! It is the reactions to our performances that keep us doing Elvis. I just want to do it better and better as time goes on. By the way Ray Elvis, don't retire. I tried it and it doesn't work. You will be back!
