Absolutely as simple as falling off a greased tightrope.

He's got hair that looks like he was dragged through a hedge backwards. He's got a Jewish nose that gets larger and larger as the years go by. He's lookin' really OLD now, but still plays a stunning show almost every time. Numerous fools with short attention span have accused him of being unable to sing, and of singing songs that are "too long". Numerous other fools have asserted that his songs from the 60's are all about drugs. Some people ask his son Jakob why he changed his surname (he didn't!!!, but his dad did). George Coventry (me) grew up in a place which bears the same name as His original surname, and it's near Milton, Ontario. He grew up not far south of the Canadian border, in a mining town. And so on...

Now amuse me by naming the wrong guy...go ahead. Is it Freddy Fender...no. Is it Wayne Newton...no.

It's....(drum roll, please).....
