Roy, at the age of 9 , wins a talent contest on Radio KVWC in Vernon, TX, and gets his own Saturday Show this year. Roy played the guitar himself for his radio show. Each week he had to learn new songs to perform, and so his gift as a legendary guitar player started right here. The station didn't even have a microphone low enough for him because he was so young, and Roy had to stand on a little footstool to reach the mic.
