hi just came across your web site good to see your doing really well must be 40 years since we seen each other we went to school together i was david christe's best buddy well keeo on banging that drum it seems your rather good at it

Yes Ray. Inviting you,Ted,and Andy to record on c.d.project. We plan on going to see you in Port Saint Lucie. Last time we spoke was at the Rosemont Horizon Theater in Chicago. Please give me a call at 1-321-501-9592. Inviting you to a couple of our bigger concerts in Melbourne. Whats up Ray.

Hello Ray, just wanna say hello from Germany with greetings from Monika and me. Seems that you`re allright and as I saw you`ve got married, I think things are going well for you. Real guitars have wings and I think real drum kids have too, when they`re played by Mr. Weston. Hope to see you again in the future. Peter

Thanks Ray. my drum teacher is actually teaching that to me at the moment.

Hello Ray, I met you when I was 7 on a plane to Laguna 3 years ago. you gave me your sticks after showing me some tricks. thanks for the advice. Sophie xx

Hi Ray, Have lost all my phone n°. Have just sent you an e-mail, hope it is the right e-mail! Give me yr phone n° and I will give you a call. Bisous, L.

hi

Hey Ray, Good seeing you play the other day, the Troubadour's a great venue too. Joel

Hi Ray, Great to hear from you. Pats myspace page link is (above). If you like meditating and chilling this is the music you need. Cheers Vince

Hi Ray, It's been 22 years since we last met up as Choir Militia members. Pleased to see you are still a fabulous drummer and working hard. I'm now a Graphic designer living in Pinner, married to Chrissy (A big fan of yours) for 24 years - 2 kids Dan 19 and Alex (girl) both at college learning to drink. Harry lives near me and now installs expensive kitchens, Pat is a New age music composer based in Cornwall and Paul as you probably know sadly died last October. I am just starting to learn to play the drums properly and am looking forward to more of your on line tutorials. Congratulations on your recent marriage - the first 20 years are the hardest! All the best Vince

Sorry David. You're email was accidentally deleted with the spam!

I'm trying to track down George McGowan to talk about the early Glasgow music scene. I am writing the authorized autobiography of Jack Bruce. Thanks.

Ray, I've a long memory and wanted to wish you and yours a happy anniversary tomorrow 5/18. May you have many wonderful years ahead. I took a quick look at the WA blog and saw the recent picture with the guys, you look rested and happy, good that all is agreeing with you. Best Wishes, Linda

Hi Ray, time is flying by, lots of things going on. Got accepted into a masters program, and I will be seeing REM this coming June and BEST part of all RADIOHEAD. I was able to obtain tickets in the 100 section of Susquehanna Bank where they will be playing August 12. I cannot believe it. Give a shout back and let me know how you are....stay well and happy. Ciao Linda

Hi Ray Just stopped by your site - hope you are well. Like the YouTube drum school piece on home page. Have been seeing Andy and the boys a bit over the last week as they are on tour over here. Joe is proving a good replacement for the master!! At Ashcon this year we are having a fan's gig the night before which I've entitled Wishclone Ish and I shall be playing a few numbers so should be great fun. Property market is shot over here so nearly broke and I've had to sell Porsche but now that Sue and I are grandparents to two gorgeous little girls (Georgia and Eleanor) life remains good! Stay well my friend. Best wishes Mike (and Sue)

Hi Ray, You're a long way from the Magnet Showband and McCormacks in Glasgow, and for that matter Hendon london 1976. Last time I saw you was 1990 with wishbone. I've followed your progress on and off over the years and just happened to stumble across your website when researching drum teachers for my daughter. Impressive and in formative. Take care and maybe hear from you soon.

Nothing can stop you now.

Hey Ray, Josh I am behind time! Congratulation on your marriage! I have been a little under the weather for about 5 months. I had to have emergency surgery the last weekend in November, I had a ruptured disc in my neck. My surgery was The day that WA was playing in STL. So I missed out of all the fun in STL and Chicago. Ian, Dorrine, Ca Danny, Dave, Carol did stop by to see me before they all went to the Chiago Show. I should do miss seeing you with the guys! Have a Happy Easter! Joanie

Missed you in the band last year and will seem strange again this year seeing Wishbone Ash without you. The new guy is good but - he's not you ! I'll never ever forget the accustic set at The Platform in Morecembe (must be the only railway station you've ever played at)in October 2006 fantastic. Thanks for the memories - I'm keeping the faith.

Bon giorno, Ray...just caught Vanilla Fudge last nite with all ORIGINAL members....Stein, Bogart, Appice, Martell at Sellersville Theatre. So good to see the original team and hear the power of their music. Carmine had a much smaller kit because of the small venue size, not the custom animal print Slingerland set, still very powerful. He did a drum solo on a metal trash can, unbelievable showman. They played the classics "Season of the Witch", Keep Me Hanging On, Shotgun (my fav). And stuff from the new album "In the Out Door" Zeppelin covers, pretty good. Had a chance to chat with them afterwards too, Carmine did an article for Modern Drummer last year, so lots to talk about. I even caught one of his sticks!!! I've pictures, let me know if your email address is the same and I will forward them to you. Kind regards and love to all, Linda
