Taken from Startribune.com
What a quote from Brian:
One Monday last winter, L.A. guitarist Brian Ray received a phone call to hook up with a music producer. After a little conversation and a bit of playing, Ray was invited to a rehearsal that Friday -- with Paul McCartney. Two days later, Ray was playing his first gig ever as a bass player -- at the Super Bowl with millions watching. Afterward, McCartney, the world's most famous bassist, told Ray: "Welcome aboard." Ray turned to the other musicians and asked, "Did he just say what I think he said?" Yep, he confirmed in a chat with I.W. last week. Guess he passed the audition. (J.B.) |

Yes, he was an absolute DOLL! The picture came out GREAT! I'm trying to eventually get it on my avator... As soon as I accomplish that, you'll see it!

YoungGerl, great story. How did your photos turn out? Are you willing to share?
JayJay, I cannot wait to see your avator!!! Does your heart still pound just thinking about that night?
Someone is actually trying to sell one of Brian's guitar picks on ebay:
Don't they know it's priceless??
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3538896074&category=33017
Also, Brian & Abe are working on a soundtrack for an upcoming film
according to filmmakermagazine.com.
"The Failures shot HD in L.A. in September with Nancy Schreiber (Shadow Magic) as d.p. and Chad Lindberg (October Sky, The Fast & the Furious) and Ashley Johnson (What Women Want) starring. Musicians Brian Ray and Abe Laboriel Jr. of Paul McCartney’s touring band are doing Failures’s score and will produce the soundtrack."
Can't wait to hear it!! |

Sadly, they're not my pictures to share, otherwise I would happily show them to people (and then there's that little matter of needing a scanner  ). They're pictures of my friends with Wix & Rusty, and my friends with Brian. They just sent me copies of the pictures after I bugged them incessantly for them. In fact, they still owe me a picture of their new MINI...
Well if Brian's guitar pick is priceless, why hasn't anyone bid on it? Only 7 hours left and it's still at the starting bid of $5! Makes me want to bid on it myself! *Grin*

| Promotion is most certainly deserved. I'd promote the photographer as well. What a great picture! Congrats. |

Thanks beatlesrock... can you tell my boss that? 
I have Paulo_Brazil to thank (if I remember correctly) for the photographic talent, and a little technology, might I add.

I met the whole band, except Paul....they were all so nice...so was Heather. Brian was really cool. He actually remembered us from the other Cleveland show we were at. The band and Heather all signed my "Driving Rain" album which was cool.....
Here is me and Brian before the second Cleveland show...

Shelley, your pics are great. You are one lucky girl!
Everyone seems to be in agreement that Brian is handsome, talented, and a real sweetheart. But does anyone know anything ELSE about him? Come on, somebody........You're bound to know something! Did anybody go to high school with him? Ever been married? Got kids? Scared of spiders and snakes???? Hates carrots? We want to know the SERIOUS stuff here! |
