Hi Mag,

Is this a trick question??  haha!!  His real last name is Shelton.  Many people
believe that his last name is "Van Shelton" - truth is - Van is his middle name,
not last.  He started going by "all 3 names" because back where he's from there
were two Ricky Shelton's on the mail route - so he added his middle name to try
to stop the confusion.  It may have in his hometown - but most of the folks that
have heard of him believe Van is the first of his last name.  (And thus when you
look for him in the store, you sometimes have to look under the V's instead of
the S's)...........

Gordon, I believe you are right - but I imagine also that it's unlikely a
celebrity is going to want to 'start' a relationship - that's probably why he
waits on 'you' to start it instead.........

See ya
Beth
