I lived with Ray in MTL in the early 80's and was there at all those gigs in the middle of the winter when there would be 6 people in the crowd.And he gave it his ALL EVERY TIME! The crowds got larger,Ray contined to grow and the rest is history.It's now 2011 and not a day goes by that i don't think of him.A real one of a kinder!Love you brother,Iansane.

So great (& bittersweet) to see this: Ray made 80s Montreal a much more rockin' place! I believe he was born in the Ottawa Valley; played bass in a new-wave band in Van round about the turn of the 70s/80s, then came to Montréal & formed the Hard Rock Goners. They put out several great albums & were barn-burning live, but eventually Ray headed west again (along with Clive Jackson who's playing bass in this vid, and fiddler Edgar Bridwell) where he formed the Ricochets (which I believe this is)

Ray Condo Forever

Ray is the real thing - an original. And that guitar player rules - chicken pickin' swing served Texas style.

I just asked my wife if she remembered seeing Ray at Station 10 in the early '80's; thank God it was her and not my first wife! Wildest show I ever saw; never saw the likes of him again.

Ray Condo = God

He was more fun than a barrel of monkies.

Ray Condo passed away in April 2004 of a heart attack.

I was out in Victoria, BC in 2001 and Ray was playing there in a pub. I spent the whole night drinking and enjoying his music. It was one of the best shows I have ever attended.

Rest in Peace Ray and thank you for your music. I will always enjoy it.
