Dear Ray,
Wow Ray what a tone? Your an absolute moment catcher the ability is haunting. What a soulful amazing flow of absolute feeling. If I could be a fraction of your ability to be an artist , I will die happy. What heart, what vision. You defeated all odds especially at that time. Ray you made me believe that I can be a presence while staying a musician. Where did the feeling go? When did it leave? Your soulfulness is convincing and sincere. Between you and Big Mama I am yet again stunted that now I can admire your ability your talent while trying to create what has already been done.

And to think you were once band from this state for a long long time due to segregation. This song how beautiful, how unbelievably heartfelt. I sat on my balcony and watched 10 planes fly right by the moon. No shit. I was a believer then that you are the man.
Composer, creator, persistent, courageous, spontaneous, trusting to musical ability, and soulful man you are.
It was a pleasure...
Love,
Dani from Dani & The Mad Men
