In the 80s, Ray and I were good friends, and I was always in awe of
his free-spirited and deadly playing. He really knows how to turn it
on at the right time. There really aren't many who can touch him. At
the time of these videos and the fact that they were shot at GIT with
a pickup band, I think he was showing off a bit, but seriously, not
many more soulful than Ray. Just one of my favorite people and
players and I thought I'd post these links:

Yes! I was in the audience for a Stanley Clarke concert way back when and
he was the guitarist. Awesome energy. Just when I thought a section
hit its peak, they would take it another notch higher. This was right
around Clarke's "Modern Man" release. I'll never forgot the guy next to
me, a trombone player of all things, saying to me "Holy ***, these guys
must be stoned out of their minds to play this stuff all night!"
