To celebrate the life of Ray Brown, local rock drummer and friend to many of us, I have uncovered some really rare recordings of Ray when he laid down demo drum tracks for the band Saint Mizry. The song is called "Only God Knows". The song is part of a 7 song demo.
Here is the other rare fact. "Saint Mizry" would later become "Wishbone" but with a totally different line up except for lead singer/ guitarist Dennis Duguay. On the demo there are the raw beginnings of 3 classic Wishbone songs that were revamped by different musicians, including myself and released on the first two albums by Wishbone but one was also part of Wishbones 3rd album, which is completely written, but yet to be recorded. Ray and I talked about this rare recording not long before his illness. I am not sure how long Ray was with the band as many drummers have gone through the Wishbone revolving door. I'm also not sure who the other musicians are on this rare recording. I believe the recording was done in Dennis Duguays basement as he had a small studio there just as I joined Wishbone. This is some rare drumming of Ray Brown from years ago who later played, ironicly, in a band called "The Chosen" with Wishbone's then to be, guitarist, Jeremey Salutuk. Enjoy this rare song and keep the memory of Ray's playing alive by passing this song on to your friends.
