It merely acquires one after being introduced to paper.

How are you? Man it's been a long time. I would just love to go and record some new stuff with all the gang again. You are just so fun and amazingly talented. I finally moved my butt out here! Hope to get to see you again soon!

I always thought that you were the brother of an artist from Louisiana named Bill Wray, until Dennis Clifton set me straight. My ears thank you for all the great bass tracks you've recorded over the years.

How the heck are ya? Man did we work on good records or what? This is really a great site for getting back in touch with old music biz friends. I retired from engineering in '92 and just retired full time in 2006. Looks like you're still going full blast. Good for you!
Let me know what you've been up to.

At 12:53pm on August 10, 2008, Dak Alley said…: Not only have you played bass on the soundtrack of my life, but pretty much on the soundtrack for country music in the last 30 years! I'm also a big fan of Ray Charles and love that he was doing country when country wasn't cool in the very early 60's. playing on Seven Spanish Angels and also the Highwayman tour, pretty heady stuff. Makes me wish I was cutting records and using you on bass.

I grew up in a family band situation and we played that song for years, and if I remember right it was in 79 that I bought that record, in 1980 Hank came out with the Album habits old and new. If you have anymore storys, I'm all ears

At 5:24am on August 10, 2008, Dak Alley said…: I keep reading all of the singles you've been a part of and it's like a who's who of my favorite songs and artists, The ride, Family Tradition, Don't make it easy for me, Holdin' her and lovin you. I could name almost all of these songs because I loved just about everyone of them. You were the bass player to the soundtrack of my life. What an honor it is to finally know that it was a man named Bob Wray who was responsible for the bottom end of all that great sound

He and I have written a few things over th years, his mama wrote "Mississippi Woman Louisiana Man" I think.

At 5:01pm on July 18, 2008, Keith Compton said…: Bob, It's great to see you here. I musically got my start in Muscle Shoals in the late seventies. Steve Moore at East Avalon taught me how to engineer and I always credit you for teaching me how to read a number chart. I've had a pretty good run here, except I wish I could record you more often. I hope to see you soon.

At 11:10pm on July 17, 2008, Judy Rodman said…: Oh my gosh.. .Bob! Great to see you here... bet I've passed your house in Al. on my trips there. What great pictures here, man you have had such a run... and still not done! Would love to work with you again. Nothing like the real thing.
