By the way, I stumbled onto your YouTube page while searching out "Robert Ward" files -- of course I was seeking the blues/R&B singer-guitar player who played through a Magnatone amp, recorded with the Ohio Untouchables in the '60s and later had a career resurrection from 1990-'98 until a stroke took him off the road, and death took him this past Christmas day. I hope you've checked out that Robert Ward's music!?
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.Robert is a big Hank Jr fan.Hank doesn't play many shows. There are over 600!! Beatles tribute bands. If something works,and is well received.There is nothing wrong,or weird sbout that.
I don't go to hear Beatles tribute bands, or any tribute bands for that matter (and trust me, Seattle has plenty -- one of the supposed best being Hells Belles, a female AC/DC tribute band) 'cause I prefer to see the real thing. But it is a big world and there is plenty of room for just about anything I suppose. Keep having fun! (and making money, both which are what it's all about, right?)
The look and mannerisms are identical, but the sound is different. I agree with the other guy, get more enthusiastic. Amazing though, you could probably play a lot of weddings in the south as an impersonator of Hank.
Opinions are like ......fingers.Everybody has one.and quit tooting,your own horn.Especially,if YOU are an imitator!

Why would anyone want to do an impersonation of HW Jr.? Jr. is still out on the boards after all! And so is his son. Why not just be yourself? Weird.
