Ray had so much love of life and the music. He had so much integrity. He treated the music with so much dignity and respect. I spent four and a half years as a sideman with Ray Brown's trio. Music was his life, more so than anyone I could mention. Benny Green
Aledo will always be home to me because I spent the first 27 years of my life there - it's such a special place - and because of the experiences I had there, I've become the person I am today. Suzy Bogguss

Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn't.

Mariska Hargitay
