This is a song that he wrote and I am singing it and the music. I just ran across this a couple days ago in my computer. It is "After all these Years". occ Occ's songs www.soundclick.com/ocandcompany

I barely remember Ray as he quit posting about the same time I started visiting the forum. I'm sorry our paths didn't cross more.

I was on a couple of his songs. My wife and I were going to visit Ray and Paulie but he passed away before we got a chance to head south. Ray was a very good Internet friend. My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Ray and I shared a love of the North Georgia Mountains (I went to college in Dahlonega, GA; my wife is from Columbus, GA; and my dad is from Ty Ty, GA - close to Tifton). We collaborated together on one of the songs on the CD he put together (I've still got it). He also shared with me this video he put together about the Fall in North Georgia from 2006. I've uploaded it to YouTube to share with everyone else.

As a matter of fact, I still have an original copy of his song "After all these years". I never met him personally, but he sounded like a kind person. May he rest in peace. Jeaux

Ray told me the truth when my vocals were less then stellar and I appreciate him so much for that. The last video I saw of Ray he was riding in a boat somewhere in some Georgia waterway with a grin from ear to ear. He was an amazing friend online and I KNOW he loved to play and sing Southern Gospel Music. RIP Ray, you are not forgotten. Trax

Ray loved his Gospel Music and was an AMAZING Southern Gospel Pianist. Him and Russel DeMusell were two of the 1st I met on the Biab Forum. RIP Ray ! Trax

Keith from Oz Veteran Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 2,444 NSW Australia	I'd like to add my comments. Ray was a mentor to me when I first started using BIAB, and was a wonderful, honest critic. He would always critique me honestly; bouquets when applicable and brickbats when needed. Never rude, but always honest. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, or even speaking to him, he was like a close friend. I loved his music, and I think he enjoyed mine, I still refer to his "Mixing & Mastering" training video whenever I need to. A wonderful man, and sadly missed by many, many people on this forum. Rest In Peace my friend Cheers, Keith
