I speak with Ray from time to time. I did a couple of shows with him last year. One in Denver and another in Savannah GA. He lives here in the San Fernando Valley. He has a studio in his home and still writes.

The next time I speak with him, I'll tell him about SD.com.

This thread makes me think about the 1st Raydio album...and makes me wonder "whatever happened to" Jerry Knight and Ollie Brown as well.

1wicked,

Jerry Knight died a while back. I forgot how he died. I vaguely remember an illness.

Ollie Brown was at the Funk Brothers induction to the Rock Walk at the Guitar Center. He sells real estate. Try looking him up here.
