I was privileged to have seen Ray Price at Panther Hall in Ft Worth in 1970, before I went to Vietnam. I was over 30 then and had always liked his music. Also got to meet him at WBAP AM Radio station after his show and enjoyed talking with him. The gentleman who played the marimba (xylophone, whatever) was from Del Rio, TX, my home town and he has since passed away. A great talent and I'm sure a great loss to Ray's entourage.
Anyway....I may live to see him again...if I'm lucky!!

Ray Price is the best singer of all time . He has performed for over 50 years and is still touring to promote country music in the traditional style. He has class, excellent showmanship, integrity and has changed the sound of country music by using strings and orchestrated productions as well as the Ray Price shuffle beat that he introduced to his 4/4 beat dance music.He can pick a great song , deliver it with ease and excellence and has an outstanding group of fine musicians in his Cherok...
