Raymond J. SALAZAR

I still, (often), think about Ray. There were magical musical moments with Ray. The moments you never forget, where the music touched a spot in our souls. Plus Rays views of the world and life were also pretty amazing. We loved being Aquarius´ together

I just learned of Ray passing and want to extend my sincere condolences to the surviving family, and the family of musicians he touched. I knew Ray through music, as I played harmonica with Blues Confidential over quite a few years. I largely defined my style with Blues Confidential, and that carried me with a number of bands and people throughout my life - all possible thanks to BC and Ray. He was the band's leader, and in many ways a musical mentor for me. Ray had a musical freedom about...

I was so very sorry to hear of Ray's death. I met him nearly 35 years ago. And although it has been many years since we have had contact, I continued to admire his musical ability, his perceptive thinking, and his gentle ways. He was an "old soul" and a musical gift to the community.

I hope the years before his death were all that he wanted them to be.

My sympathy to his family and those who loved him.

My prayers go out to the family...always liked Rays playing and spirit we will miss him...Marc Gray

Many years of listening to you Ray gave me my love of the Blues. First heard you at Howards in BG then followed you and your band for years. You played at my brother's bar, the Rumpus Room, and I never missed a show.

Heaven's done called another blues stringer back home.

Rest in peace Ray.
