“The way he goes back and forth between story telling, mapping out the song changes,
and singing is the best one man show I've ever seen.”

How many rock bands can be that great and have only one full time guitarist? Ray was fantastic, they all were. I left a cork from a wine bottle with a note attached to it on Jim's grave in Paris.
