	The label ‘traditional’ musician does not fit easily with him, perhaps because he learnt his classic banjo music from notation.  He learnt most of his other repertoire by ear, however, especially old music hall and ‘community’ songs of the early 20th century.  Unlike some other classic banjo players, he did not appear to need the notation in performance.  Much of his popular repertoire is of the kind often easily dismissed by those of us weaned on ‘folk revival’ and/or rock music.  But it could be argued that Ray’s music was more ‘connected’ to the local community than much of the folk club movement.

	Dear Readers; most of this information on Ray appears to come from the booklet tothe 'Classic English Banjo' CD issued by Musical Traditions, MTCD 314 , which I researched and wrote! If other comments here came from Musical Traditions editor, Rod Stradling ( who produced the CD), I have no problem with that! However,it would be appreciated if my work between 1999 and 2000 were acknowledged - as well as the help and information given by Ray's family and fellow musicians ( all referred to in the booklet)
