Hey man,
My name is Ray Dorsey & I’m a 51 yr old guy from Maryland. I’m trying to locate Ryan-Christopher from the band VAGABOND. I’d go thru myspace, but my account got all screwed up over there, so…. Anyway, I’ve published RAYSREALM (under a few different names) since 1983 and have put it online a few years ago, most recently at:
www.raysrealm.blogspot.comI cover a lot of different music, leaning toward hard, guitar-driven rock and metal and my main goal is to find bands whom I think are doing something interesting but are not getting enough credit for it. I’m down in Florida this week with my family (wife & 5 kids) and when I’m away somewhere, I usually make it my business to visit at least one used record/CD store and pick up something by a local band that I’d otherwise never have heard of. A lot of times, this nets me a cool find and last night, I was at Park Ave CD’s in Orlando and I happened upon your disc. It looked interesting, so I (as I often do) figured what the hell and bought it. Very glad I did, one listen in and this is, I think, a very unique album. I love the riffs, guitars, etc. but I also really like the vocals, some of the unusual ideas and the style of the songwriting. It’s not something I can put my finger on right away, but it there are things about it that are quite different and set themselves apart. There’s a groove there that I really like and which speaks of someone who enjoys a lot of different music…I hear funk and different overtones of things even like r&b in the proceedings.
I’m going to be reviewing the disc on my site after several more listens and if you’re interested, I can give you the heads-up as soon as a review is posted. Also, I’m wondering if you might be interested in answering a few questions for my site. Let me know.
It would be great to hear from you!
