 Mike Oltersdorf performs for a Parkinson's Disease support group in South Elgin, Ill.
Tribune staff reporter |
Halfway through Mike Oltersdorf's version of the Beatles' hit "Twist and Shout," a Parkinson's patient sitting toward the back of the South Elgin Village Board chambers begins to clap along. Oltersdorf, a Paul McCartney look-alike who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease three years ago, smiles as he softly sings along with the recording. His hands, as he plucks a guitar, no longer tremble. Oltersdorf once fooled an arena full of screaming fans when he took the stage before a Ringo Starr concert in Colorado, and more recently caused a stir in a small Wisconsin town ("Rock Legend Sighted in City" read the local newspaper's headline) when he went out for dinner. But 10 months ago Oltersdorf, 57, decided to hang up his blue suede "Sgt. Pepper's" jacket for good. "The tremors were getting so bad that I thought, 'Well, that's a part of my life that I'll always look back fondly on,'" Oltersdorf told the 12 people gathered for a recent meeting of the Parkinson's support group in South Elgin. "Maybe there's a thin Elvis and a fat Elvis, but there was never a shaky Paul." |
