The awful thing is that Ray has been a stoically awful flautist for

Hey... Ray is a songwriter and lyric writer. He composed a few good
ones. How about those lyrics... "two rats were boating"
and "somebody set off an H bomb today, but it wasn't anybody I knew".
Ray also had a MK II. Unfortunately, Ray's MKII has recently
surfaced in the front parlor of Madam Smythe's Cat House in
Staffordshire.

On a serious note... Ray may not be a great flautist, but songs
like "Timothy Leary", "The Actor" or "Are You Sitting Comfortably"
.... Ray's flute playing is... just right.
