I am here for Friends

About Me

Howdy!! My name is Andrew Ray and I am a drummer/percussionist. Yes, the love of my life lies behind my drum kit! I love playing music and I am so thankful that God blessed with with a musical talent. Music thrives in my heart and I have had a passion for it since I picked up my first pair of drumsticks at the age of 8. My lifelong dream is to be a full-time musician, so I am going for it, gonna give it a whirl, and see where the road takes me. One day I'd like to learn guitar and piano.

[See my munkey...he plays the air drums!]

My Interests

I enjoy...music, music, and more music, playing drums, cooking, any type of live music, hanging out with all my friends, family and pets. Fishing, golfing, hunting, and not to mention a favorite of mine.....partying, and did I say music???

I'd like to meet:

i wanna meet.....Scarlett Johansson :o) Keith Urban, The Goo-Goo Dolls, Switchfoot, Oasis, Rob Dyrdek and his crew, and many others. I would love to meet Andre Dawson, he has been my favorite baseball player since I was a kid.

Music:

Anything that rocks and has a kick ass groove. All Cross Canadian Ragweed, Elliot Smith, The Perishers, Goo-Goo Dolls, Switchfoot, Athenaeum, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Dashboard Confessional, Oasis, Augustana, most all Indie/Pop/Rock music, too many more to list!

Television:

Rob and Big, The Real World, I'm pretty much an MTV addict. The Sopranos, UFC or anything on Spike TV.

Books:

Very seldom do I have time to finish a book, but I stay up on all current events, and I read the local paper (The Bee-Picayune), The Ad Sack or anything else that seems interesting to me.

Heroes:

All time heroes consist of God, Jesus, my mom and dad, my sister, my nephew....where would I be without them? Cross Canadian Ragweed, Andre Dawson, and any musical artist who has inspired me to be the musician I am today.
