Ray has been a musician and a songwriter for over 30 years. He has had three song periods in his life: during his military years (early 70’s), the post-military years (mid-to-late 70’s) and the present (turn of the century). Each period was marked by a particular style and content to his music. He’s played the trumpet, baritone horn and cello. But, his favorite instruments are the keyboards and the 12-string guitar. Ray wrote over 70 songs in the first period, covering 4 years in the U.S. Air Force. In the second, during which his techniques improved, he completed over 30 songs in 5 years. In the “years between,” Ray worked with computers and raised a family: no time for writing. But, lately, the creative juices started working, again. And, in this third period, he’s created dozens more, so far. Of all these songs, Ray only has a few in demo format. His goal is to put together a home studio and start work on CDs to highlight his music.
