Roy Webb co hosted Singing In The Sun- in Myrtle Beach this past week - he gave his testimony “his side of the story” on why he left SSQ - it was amazing let’s just say Roy is sincere and people see that- he is going to be around along time and he deserves that.

Care to elaborate on the testimony?



SoloSGArtist -> RE: Roy Webb (4/28/2008 4:27:45 PM)

Roy gave an awesome testimony - Dean Hopper called him on in the last 10 minutes of one of the singing in the sun concerts-
Back in May I asked Ernie why Roy was not with them that night and Ernie said “roy [edited] has some issues that need to be resolved.” ernie’s comment was misleading and now i’m glad i heard the following story-

NOTE: this is not word for word.

Roy’s parents are both hearing impared his mother only 40% but his dad was completely deaf - his parents got a divorce over 20 years ago- since then roy had only seen his father 5 times at most and this was just in passing- so in 2007 his dad was diagnosed with a powerful oral cancer- that caused him to have the whole lower portion of his face removed and replaced with titanium plates and skin from his chest and back-
Roy sister had called roy and told him that she was bringing his dad to his (roy’s) house to meet him- when he arrived roy had forgotten most of the sign lanquage so they both showed the “i love you” sign to each other and then roy said “and there we began” starting from the beginning Roy said his dad jokingly signed to him “so… what’s your favorite color” — so going through all of that he decided he wanted to make up for that lost time…

NOW HE DIDN’T SAY THE ERNIE WOULDN’T ALLOW HIM TO TAKE OFF FOR A BRIEF TIME-

He just said I was “faced” with the decision to “leave” the road…

So roy grew closer to his dad over his last few weeks…
One day roys sister called and said come to dad’s house quick hospice called and something really unusual was happening- his dad was “crossing over” Roy explained how his dad would “fade in and out” and that his dad told Roy that he had talked to Jesus and that his dad said he could here in heaven and that it was really loud … Roy teared up and said so you see folks no matter what we face down here own earth one day we will make it to that holy city of Jerusalem- The Hoppers immediately stepped up and went into an encore of Jerusalem-

the Holy Spirit filled that
place - I was moved to tears.

Wow, thanks for sharing.

Wow!!!!



BBfan -> RE: Roy Webb (4/28/2008 6:18:41 PM)

Thanks for sharing...I had read something and can't remember where but when he first left SSound about him staying home to spend some time reconnecting with his dad. In the same article or whatever I read it stated his dad was terminal. I stopped by his booth on Saturday night and spoke with him for a few minutes. Bought a cd and had him autograph it to my mom for Mother's Day. He is a sweetie!! He told a story on stage that night about coming home finding what he thought was his wife dangling out of the garage attic searching for Christmas decorations...he then told he snuck up on her and swatted her rearend to the tune of Falala...only to walk into the house to find his wife decorating the Christmas tree...it was his mother-in-law he swatted!!! Hearing him tell it was hilarious. [:D]

I am sure Roy will be able to go back to work whenever he chooses. He is very accomplished and his time with SS put his name out there. Any group needing someone at the keys will be glad to have him.

I was so glad to hear Roy's side of the story! I was sitting there Thursday night just crying! The Lord was definitely at work in the room that night! It was absolutely AMAZING! I wish everyone could have been there to experience the wonderful moving of the Lord!



LissaJo -> RE: Roy Webb (4/29/2008 8:40:49 AM)

I have loved Roy Webb since his time with SSQ. He is an awesome person! I had heard much of the story above, but somehow missed the details that his parents were hearing impaired. Thanks for sharing the story tho!

I'm a Roy Webb fan!
He's a great guy and a good friend, and one of the funniest people I've even known.

That's for sure! I never talked to Roy when he didn't send me into stiches. I miss seeing him and hope to one day soon do so again.

Haha, I remember at this past Pianorama when Roy was featured. He had you boogyin' when he did that little drumming thing on the piano. That was a hoot! [:D]



DeeAnnBailey -> RE: Roy Webb (4/29/2008 11:20:53 AM)

I got to interview him a bit a while back and he is such a nice guy! I haven't gotten to see him in a solo concert yet but will if I get the chance!
