I also have a blog where you can hear stories about my legendary father, guitarist Jimmy Raney and Steeplechase recording artist, Doug Raney. Please visit and join my music discussion forum .

In terms of friend requests. Sorry, but I'm sort of old school. I use myspace part time and because it is a popular place to put up artist pages. If you are sending me friend requests to make your friend list look bigger or send me gigspam, don't bother. I generally only want to hear from people that want to know about my music or correspond with me or generally chew the fat about Doug or Jimmy Raney or myself. In other words send please me a note first or I will be inclined to reject the request.
