Re: Ray Abshire report: rare moments of fulfillment and octaves too!
I attended the Friday night practice with Ray and the band, and confirm everything Steve says about Ray being a great guy and superb musician. Listening to him play, watching how he rehearsed the band, and talking about music with him made for one of the finest musical evenings I've ever had. If you have a chance to work with Ray out in California, or to look him up in Louisiana for a lesson, you're going to reap some real benefits.
