Vroom Using the duck call for motorcyle sound effects behind the William Tell Overture.	Some know him as the Other Elvis Billy, because John Eaden is the only Hillbilly substitute who does the Elvis medley.Others know him as Sally Mae and other characters of Laughing Stock Company, his Monday - Friday job. When the Hillbillies needed a new substitute for front man Kirk Wall, they thought of John. He's great at comedy, can sing, but could he play an instrument? He knew a few chords on the guitar, so the Hillbillies wrote 4-chord guitar parts for him to start. Since then he's progressed considerably as a musician, even taking up violin. Including full-sized violin.	He used to play a little fddle.
Stay in school Or end up like this.	Ouch! John gets the bow stuck so hard he actually broke one in his nose. And the broken bow brought good money at a Hillbilly auction.
