Daddy Sang Bass, Daddy Sang Tenor

Follow Emmett Louis's journey from park ranger at Mount Rushmore to headliner on the Branson strip. His meteoric rise to become the country's second-highest paid musical impersonator, in the most talked-about fake biography in decades, "Daddy Sang Bass, Daddy Sang Tenor." (141 words)

Fake Reviews for Val’s Fake Book

Emmylou Harris…"I would walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Roosevelt's Nose for this fake author! It's a wonderful fake biography! I can't wait to put this fake book on my fake bookshelf. The whole trans thing aside, as Rooster Cogburn said, watching Mattie Ross of near Dardanelle in Yell County crossing the river on her horse, Little Blackie, in the original True Grit, 'That reminds me of me!'"

The Go-Gos…”Our lips are sealed! Our mommas taught us if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. That's the best we can do with this fake book.” 

Loretta Lynn…”Sorry, Val, but you ain't writer enough to fake-write this fake book!'”

Dolly Parton…”I'm no stranger to writing. I've written a couple thousand songs. You mighta even heard one or two of 'em. There's something I always tell my audience at a live performance: 'It takes a LOTTA money to look this cheap!' And all I got to say to you, Val, honey, is: 'It must take a LOTTA talent to write this bad!'” 

Johnny Cash…”Life ain't gonna be easy for a gal named Val. Stealing a song from Mr. Carl Perkins to use as a fake title for your fake book does not bode well for you in the afterlife. Once ol' Carl gets a-holt a ya, a vacation'll be all you ever wanted ("WATCH IT, CASH!" --The Go-Gos). By the time you're done a-kickin' and a-gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer, you'll be hopin' to fall down, down, down into a burnin' ring of fire!"

Elvis Presley…”I'm all shook up! I CAN help falling in love with this fake book! Val Thevictorian is stepping on some blue suede shoes in the music industry. She's hyping this new singing sensation as the next...um...ME!”
