ARIK CHRISTOPHER- Still GOING!!

Shores, Alabama, and that was a lot of fun.

Do you have any memories that makes being an ETA well worthwhile?
I have so many memories right now....traveling memories, people memories, all kinds. I couldn't lay any of them down on paper without writing a novel!

What kind of road blocks can you foresee, or have come across that could make or break a guy from pursuing his goals at becoming an ETA?
There seems to be animosities between ETA's and the fans of ETA's against other fans or other guys, and that to me is just completely ugly and uncalled for. I've never gotten any of this myself, but I see it happening here and there and I don't like it....but you have to kind of be able to look past it and find the good people and the good ETA's. They are out there, and there's more good than there is bad, but it can beat you down if you'd let it. People should just let other people have their own opinions.

This past August you were in Memphis during Elvis Week, Is this the first time you have been there during this special week?
That was my very first Elvis Week, yes.....

What would you say was the neatest experience of the week- in Memphis?
Again, like my memories there are way too many neat experiences....performing at the Tent across the street from Graceland and the dozens of people who approached me afterwards, meeting people I've talked to only online for years and finally came face to face with, walking the Candlelight Vigil, being approached by filmmakers and photographers, meeting DJ Fontana, Al Dvorin, Patty Perry, Julie Parish, Joe Esposito and Jimmy Velvet, walking Beale Street at night, going backstage at the Overton Park Shell....meeting many of the other guys....it was a big week!

I hear one of your downfalls is that you never smile when someone takes a picture of you, how come?
I don't really know how come I don't, I just don't. I think cameras make me shy, but if I'm asked to smile I will smile. I've also promised to try and get better at that. There are pictures out there with me smiling!!!

Are you signed up with an agent or management service at all?
No, I'm not at present time.

Any albums or recordings done so far?
Nope, not at this time. But
