Re: Lex Ishimoto - Billy, US Tour
An interesting article in The Oregonian about the 4 boys who play Billy. I have posted this link in all 4 boys' threads.

Re: Lex Ishimoto - Billy, Second National Tour
He put on a stunning performance when I saw him last Sunday. Anyone who has the privilege of seeing him perform will be getting an amazing show indeed. A lot has been said about his' Electricity, and for good reason.ERinVA wrote:I was fortunate to see Lex in Durham, and I agree. He is the all around complete Billy package. And like you I thought his Electricity was spectacular.

Re: Lex Ishimoto - Billy, US Tour
Saw Lex today in SF and the crowd just looooved him. Much louder reception than when I saw Kylend 2 weeks ago. Both were great though. Didn't mean to compare, but maybe the crowd today was just 10x more enthusiastic.

Re: Lex Ishimoto - Billy, US Tour
Audiences can definitely differ in their responsiveness from day to day. That gets mentioned all the time on here.
I have seen Lex as Billy twice, and I think he is a fabulous Billy. One thing that I noted after seeing the first time was the speed of his spins, which seem to be double time.

Kurt Froman's brother, Kyle, posted great pictures of "Flying" and "Electric" Lex.
