Ray Condo was a Canadian musician and international Rockabilly/Country Swing legend. He passed away on April 14, 2004 in Vancouver, BC.



I knew Ray for 19 years almost to the day that he died, and he was an enormous influence on me, on my work, and on how I approach life in general. He had that effect on the people he touched.



I have known other people as capable of being with the moment of creation with Ray's intensity, but no one who was better at it...or more dedicated to delivering his best. He was always inspiring. As you will see here, he inspired me as a photographer.



This book contains 130 images on 64 pages, of Ray and his bands, friends, and fans, and has a wonderful foreword by acclaimed musician Lily Frost, who first sang professionally with Ray, in The Swinging Dukes.
