i was lucky to see Ray in Riverdance although I didn't know who he was however in March stumbled on PBS......CW and saw a familiar face and again a great performance. Then while in Orlando I was lucky to be there one more time to watch he and Nicky  Iwould love to have a camera just on them during Mo Ghile Mear.  What a show.

I always have to laugh whenever I see Ray--he looks exactly like a guy from my church, and they act the same way too! When I watch Dulaman, its hysterical because I can see Mark, the guy at church, dancing around exactly as Ray does!!

Ray (and Nick) are great..it would not be Celtic Woman without them. Ray especially looks like he's having a blast when on stage. One question, though, for Ray, if anyone can ask him..at the Albany show last week, during the Voice he was using those feather duster things instead of the rubber hammer thingys (I know nothing about music, just what great music sounds like..lol). On the DVD, he uses the hammers and it is loud and great, but it was somewhat muted at the live show..just wondering why.


I assume by feather duster things you mean brushes?...Brushes are used for texture...if you listen to jazz music and you hear kindof like...that swirlyish sound on the snare...or like...a very light almost like the tip of a needle sound on the cimble or hight hat...those are brushes...Brushes are just used to produce like...a textured sound that you wouldn't be able to make with a normal drum stick...

and for the hammers...

 
Did you mean chime hammers (which is hammer above) or mallets?....even though I doubt he's use a chime hammer on anything that wasn't chimes....

I think there are some ladies on this Forum who have a bit of a crush on Ray......

I won't tell........!!! Wink (I'm not blushing am I?)

The following link to an old clip from the Riverdance site shows what kind of a guy he is.
Giving his free time to organize help for a Community Centre, mainly for senior citizens, in a Dublin suburb.

www.riverdance.com/htm/accessallareas/exclusives/ballyfermot.htm

A piece from it:
"Sunday 21 st August saw a truly extraordinary Riverdance show take place in a Community Centre in Dublin. Dreamt up by Riverdance drummer Ray Fean and spurred on by Senior Executive Producer Julian Erskine, Riverdance cast and crew and staff gave their free time to help the Ballyfermot Community Civic Centre celebrate its 4 th year."

I think you ladies all show a bit too much enthusiasm for these 2 lucky guys. Perhaps CW should replace them with women <ducks very fast>  Wink
