    The older generations really knew how to swing. It is a lost art.

    Met up with Ray in 1992 in a Denny's restaurant in Largo Florida. Had an interesting conversation and he paid for our meal!

      Thanks for the interesting comment, and I bet that conversation was fasinating. Ray was a fine drummer and entertainer.

      Nice to see you with this comment, and just realised you were on my old channel which for some reason was taken down so I've merged our band channel with some nostalgia.

      @@CCJazzmen Yes, I knew him because of an coincidence! I'm located in Switzerland and I was looking for a Remo Jazzkit. The same as Jeff Hamilton used to play. Hard to find in Europe, I ended up on Craiglist Charlotte and saw the ad that Jim had placed! And that was it! I wrote to him and finally, two weeks later, I received the kit in the mail, perfectly packaged. At all times he was very concerned whether the drums would be well received. Opening the two packages was a treat as Jim wrote step by step what to find next in the package. He still gave me a bunch of sticks and self-burned CD's with jazz music. We wrote a few more emails later. And he told me more than once how nice it was to know me and how much he would like to come once to Switzerland.
      But unfortunately this was no longer possible. I didn't hear from him for a few years and later found out about his death. He must have been a very good person. Without ever having seen him, it was a great honor for me to have met this man!
