His band excellent, his string players employ precision and feel.

At lockdown, a flash back. In L.A. in 1992 David K was asked, “You a songwriter?” He answered, “Yes.” “Send me a song,” the man said, sharing his card. That night David wrote, “It Was A Mistake,” Roy style, and sent it to the late Orbison’s manager. Locked down decades later, David K rehearsed daily, waking nightly to a voice crooning in his head, “Pretty Woman”… or “Crying.” He begged Roy to quit so he could sleep. Roy persisted. One night, the haunting tune was “Lonely Blue Dreams…” “Stop it, Roy,” David said. “Wait… is that you Roy?” 1/2 awake, guitar in hand, David captured the song. Had Roy sent it? Time stood still as he wandered dreamscapes catching songs like snow wafting in the night. Would Roy send more?
