RIP Ray. Gentle Giant's raw talent and compositions were unparalleled and continue to be a joy in my life. Ray's ability to occupy so many roles within that band was jaw dropping. Sail free great musician. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |
