[edit] Help Wanted

Does anyone know more about this man?Swatson1978 08:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

There is a more detailed biography here. Gflores ^Talk 08:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

In the October 5th issue of Rolling Stone there is an article on Ray. It states that he lives in Wilton, Maine not Lewiston like this article says.

[edit] Main Image

I found a picture which i think would be better for the main page instead of the album cover. I can't find a copyright so help me out if it can be used. You can find the picture im talking about right around....here.--SteelersFan UK06 10:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article

This article meets the requirements for a Good Article: It is very well-referenced, the content is stable, and it appears to meet Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, a trait fairly rare amongst musician-related articles. I see no need to deny this article GA status any longer. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

Most of the external links were removed, based it seems, on a strict read of WP:EL. I'm moving them here as some of them still might be useful to those working on the article.

[edit] Upbringing

After the move from Nashua, New Hampshire, I know that Ray attended Buckfield High School in Buckfield, Maine. Also, the shoe factory that he worked in was (I believe) in the Bates Mill Complex in Lewiston, Maine.
