Welcome to the Facebook, Music Fan Page of John Michael Ray. Thank you for reading this far.
In the summer of 2007, I started writing again after almost a 20 year layoff. At that time, it was all about salvation for me. Learning to deal better with some of life's 'ups and downs' that had just occurred.
In the past year, I have recorded demo versions of over 40 original songs in which I wrote, sung, and played all instruments. Ok, so the drums are canned. Sue me!
All of them are on the music player here, and I am constantly re-doing them as I learn more about the recording process.
I have lyrics written to about another 100 songs that I haven't done the music for. Hopefully, they will come soon.
I write all the time. I am forever thinking or hearing thoughts and ideas that I'd like to put into song. It's sometimes how a song is born. A lot of times I will post those lines on my status. And please, don't any of you take to heart, any lines or passages I may post on here. They are merely random thoughts or potential lyrics for new music. This is not the place to attack anyone or to express my undying devotion either.
I've recorded a few cover songs as well. A lot of my old favourites. The music wasn't done by me.
I want to thank all of you who have become fans for supporting my efforts. I really don't think of most of you as fans. You're all part of my 'street team', and again, I thank you for that.
Wish me luck, and don't be afraid to contact me.
