          "...The Music Will Live On"
          A simple phrase written on a card sent with
          flowers.  Flowers from Steve Young for the
          final services for Roy Dea.  But this one
          simple phrase speaks volumns about the
          lifetime of  a man  and his deeply embedded
          love of music.

          An interview with Roy  published in one of the
          leading C&W Trade Magazines was titled,
          "Working In The Shadows."  This was definitely
          a fitting title describing a quiet man who never
          spoke of his own accomplishments.
          You would never have found a wall filled with
          plaques in his office.  When asked why he never
          displayed these, he would be quick to say,
           "That's past.  What comes next is what counts." 

          Doing research for these pages I learned so much
          I didn't know about his career. A career that began
          with Mercury Records and a lifelong friend, Jerry
          Kennedy.  But a career that was inevitable when
          he got his first guitar at age 10 in Shreveport, La. 

          These pages documenting the stellar career of
          my brother, "working in the shadows" reflect
          the true meaning of Steve Young's message..
          "..the music will live on."
