This one, Invitation To The Blues, is linked in the NPR story. Dang me, dang me, they ought to take a rope and hang me, but that kid singing harmony for Ray sure does look familiar. ;)

I'm only 30 and always liked good country music, RIP Ray. wore out many cassette tapes of all my favorite country artists. usually keep my radio in the truck on 99.5 so i can hear some better music than most of what is being played today.

The crew is getting smaller and smaller...Willie and Merle, maybe a few others whom I can't think of right now.

Real...and I mean real, (yes, I understand the outlaw movement)country music and the true coumtry musicians are falling fast. I personally believe country music started to fade for me about 1992 or 1993, when a famous Okie made it big. I also believe he was the beginning of the death of country...flying around the stage...a "rock" or alter-ego album. I don't know, what did I expect, country music to stay the same ...nothing can.

What is country music today..I don't know. About 90% of the coumtry..or so called country musicians today..I don't even know who they are.

I am leaning toward Hank III, Robert Earl Keen, and others who aren't quite mainstream.

Girth REALLY wanted to be a rockstar, but then he decided he wanted to be George Strait, then a guy he invented, then…who knows.

I do NOT miss him. Best thing he ever did was make Chris LeDoux famous so he could stop selling tapes out of his truck.

When I was a kid, back in the 60's and 70's, my Dad raised and fought game fowl, ( It was legal back then) I remember several times when he came in from a big derby, he would mention that Ray Price had been there also. Ray like the "Chicken Fights" as we called them. He also helped a local musician, Elmer Henson, try to launch a music career.

I played in a little band out of texas years ago and our singer was a cousin to Ray Price, I had the good fortune to meet him several times and actually got to play in his band one night in Lubbock Texas !! I was a Cherokee Cowboy for a night!! I also got to Pheasant hunt with him several times in Lockney Texas on his cousins farm! He would have his bus driver bring him out there and we would get on his bus and drink coffee and he would take a double shot of Wild Turkey and we would go make a pass in the field, come back to bus and he would do more Turkey and go again, He would get a bird or two and then leave and go home! He did teach us alot about music and life !! He will be missed!
