Steel guitar collection
My name is Sally, I'm Ray's wife. Ray has been very ill this last 2 weeks and I'm so sorry he has not sent a reply to all of you gentlemen asking about his guitars. He is still interested and I will try to take pics and get back with you as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for being so patient with him
Thanks again Sally
Thanks again Sally

Sad news
May Jesus bring Ray healing and comfort.
And Sally, may He bless you also,
Ray is a legend in the world of SG. And a Rickenbacker guru.
I felt there had to be a reason Ray would sell his treasure. I am so sorry he is ill.
And what a gentleman. He was a dear fiend of Jerry Byrd. His website is awesome. Because of him I was able to once again listen to music of a nostalgic era long gone; that was impossible to find without the efforts of Ray. I shall forever be grateful to him for what he has done.
I am sure that all who know (and know of) him, will be praying for him. I shall certainly do it. I never met him, but I have the utmost love and respect for him always.
Again, may Jesus bring him comfort and healing,
c.

Like Stephen, I too looked at the fan club website today, and while I did see a photo full of beautiful lap steel guitars, I rather became fascinated reading the "About Ray" page and learning about the wide range of activities Ray has engaged in over the years. So impressive!
So, Ray and Sally, listen to the physician within, and take your time to heal and recover, knowing that your many friends on the Steel Guitar Forum are wishing you well!
