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.
