Wayne induced a confidence in Ralph to perform before 2400 people as the opening act for the 5-day 2006 show with I May Never Get to Heaven by Conway Twitty and Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers. Ralph's performance at Roy Thomson Hall in 2006 was his first time on a theatre stage since performing as the mayor in the Music Man at the Thames Theatre in Chatham, Ontario during his high school days. The Roy Thomson experience with Wayne has truly opened doors for other wonderful opportunities both on stage and off over the past two years. This year, Ralph will be performing Spanish Eyes by Al Martino and Kentucky Rain by Elvis Presley.
