A Note About Our Historic Reviews

Before becoming Tres the Great, Tres performed professionally under the stage name Tres Alexander. Some of the original letters and testimonials in our historical archive therefore refer to him as Tres Alexander. They have been preserved in their original form as part of his performance history.
