Oh yeah, this is in my favorites. I have to get my "fix" on this regularly. Ray showin' us how it's done!

I've always understood that good things are said about a guy only at his funeral.

You looked pretty lively to me today, Ray!!

Enjoyed watching you light up the Bigsby in the old days. Very slick.

Ray;
That was awesome! Great technique and your tone was nice and full. I especially liked the harmonics (or Chimes as we used to call them)

Very Classy Ray and the Byrd influence in your tone is very evident. Enjoyed very much.

I've watched this video many times over the years and never fail to be impressed and entertained. It's a pity that no other videos of the Skipper have yet surfaced from that era. If anyone knows of any please let me know.

Right on, Ray! Beautiful tone. You make something so hard look so natural.

I've always enjoyed your playing and contribution to the forum Ray.
I have a tune called the Poulet Polka likely influenced by you now that I think about it.
Stay vertical.
