We have a few other Texans in the family too. If I could be beamed up to Austin I’d be at your next concert. Please let us know when your bus comes north.

and your band played at the Longhorn ballroom. It was great honor to do it I hope one day I would like to meet you again your friend Gary Dillon

(Raised in the 50s in Louisiana, I love R&B, Western Swing, old hymns, & some opera.) The Wheeler Brothers are so fresh, fun, and unique…love their music and this new sound. Had no idea the scope of their talent until I listened to “Portraits”. Thanks for supporting these young artists.

I listen to every type of music but not country particularly, except steve earle and artists similar. But rays music has very enjoyable old school elements not found in any other type of country music. I just saw him and the band at the oppry house in marion county florida and i enjoyed it tremendously. Thanks Ray and thanks to his band…
