Mr. Raymond, I attended your show last night at the Homestead Music Hall. I was floored by the teamwork, respect and positive energy you and your band mates offered to each other and all of us in the crowd. There appeared to be a deep understanding and connection that you all had with each other, both musically and personally, and it was an honor to witness. And on top of that, you guys rocked it out phenomenally. Thank you for offering us Pittsburghers such a fine performance and experience

Thank you so much!

Do you ever look at the music of other composers? I compose classical music, often piano-based, a lot of art songs, etc. I am hoping to get my stuff disseminated out there more.

I do! send to my new site @ jamesraymond.com

Thanks!

I have enjoyed your music for years--beginning with the CPR material ("Jerusalem" being my personal favorite). I try to check in here from time to time to learn what you've been up to... I still enjoy "Toda a Beleza" (particularly when I'm focused on my own fiction writing). I try to track down your soundtrack work, whenever it's accessible, and have to ask--did you, or did you not write for a few episodes of "Judging Amy"? It's not listed in your credits here. Any chance of a full CD?

Hi there! Thanks, no I di not work on Judging Amy... I was up for that gig but didn’t get it!

Hi James, I think I heard that you used Wavelore's pedal steel on song's like "What's Broken," and I think you just did an amazing job, melodic and flowing, perfect for the song. I have downloaded the demo of the program and it seems difficult to some of the licks you do without overdubbing, so wondered if you had to do that in some parts, or whether it was all played in real time? What a superb performance. Thanks, Tom

Tom Thanks so much! yes I played it comping different licks. Really appreciate the compliment. I’ve moved my site from Tumblr but please reach out anytime to jamesraymond.com  all the best!
