Very very inspiring dude to say the least. His love of life and his zest to live are quite second to none.





I still had a good laugh when I saw him fishing.

Damn Straight!

When you're "disabled" you're "able" to have a unique perspective and things that are important to most are unimportant. And things that are taken for granted by most are daily battles.

Some see disability as a curse, but for a guy like me it's indeed a blessing. I've seen more love than most people take the time to recognize is there.

God Bless, Ray

Dude, you are an inspiration yourself, there are just some folks 'round these parts that don't know it yet.

Get in line.... If I could get $1 out of everybody that told me that, I could buy Keith out and change the name to "Ray's Music Exchange".

Is that a quote from somewhere, or from you personally?
If the latter, is there a thread somewhere that I've missed?

Ray won't talk about on his own (and if I'm out of line man, just say so), but he IS an inspiration to me.

Man has cerebral palsy, and is still a smokin' bassist! Also funny and a riot to hang with.

Ray, you DA MAN!

That was cool and all but bassybill; your thread title seemed a little snarky without context.

Sorry - not intentional, obviously.

Maybe we all get a little cynical and automatically assume sarcasm when none is intended? I know I do sometimes.
