|
Mr. Wright is competing for the second consecutive year on the hit |

|
|
quick learner and impressed his family with a version of Otis |
|
|
Redding's "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay"; by the time he first |
|
|
tried out for Idol, he had started writing his own songs, and he |
|
|
auditioned with a memorable performance of an original, "Dark Side |
|
|
of Me"; and |

|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |

wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
