Ray Curry
Los Angeles, 1988
I knew Ray for only a brief time beginning after my reading his January 2000 Blues Scene, but we never met in person. We corresponded via the Internet throughout the month of January, swapping stories about our first guitars, playing trumpet in grade school, playing in live bands, recording experiences, musical heroes, concerts that we have seen and so forth. The following pages were culled from Ray's voluminous January email to me. I would like to share this because maybe there are some things here that others never knew about his very interesting life and times. In attempts to put it all into some kind of order I strung numerous excerpts together, so if it seems to ramble in places, it's not Ray's fault. Plus, since it is only what Ray was able to tell me in a single month, it is by no means intended as a representation of his entire story. If any of Ray's friends would like to share some their favorite memories of him here, you are welcome to write to me and I will add them.
