Thank You

Hi It's Ray here, and I'm at home. I've just finished mixing and

Mastering the album "Halo". I pulled the microphone out of the drawer

And wanted to give you a message. I wanted to tell you something from
My heart, and that was "Thank You". You know, you've been there for
Me through thick and thin. And many times on this album, which has
Been one of the hardest albums I've ever recorded, you definitely
Have pushed me, supported me, rallied me, inspired me to continue
Because I think there was a few moments I didn't really know where I
Was going, and I didn't know whether I wanted to keep going. And I
Definitely look to you for that support that you've given me over so
Many years. And it got me to where I am right now, which is saying
Thank you for helping me finish this album. Some of my best memories

About music have been walking into a room where somebody's playing

From the heart, their music that they love, and it always inspires
Me. And being a part of the audience, you feel like you're part of
That energy which made that moment magic. And, you know, I think
You should know that's what you do for me when I'm on stage, is you
Make the moment magical. And I'm so grateful. And, you know, what
We do is music. Like, it's joy. It's more rewarding than it is
Demanding. It's not life and death but it fulfills you. And, you
Know, I think it's just one of those great things you want to hold
On to as tight as possible and never let go. And you make it
Possible. And that's why I wanted to take this moment to say thank

You. Sometimes the journeys are uphill. Sometimes it's the beautiful

View. Sometimes it's downhill, and sometimes you're standing there

And you don't know where you're going. But you know that music is

Going to guide you, and I know that you will all be there at the
Finishing line cheering. And that really is fulfilling. It's
Overwhelming sometimes, but it's worth this few minutes just to kind
Of, you know, speak to you from the heart and tell you I know you're
There, and I see you all the time. And I am so grateful. And I hope
When you get this album, though, when you hear this album, that it
Will give you everything I put into it. You know, there's so much
Love in there, and I'm excited about you hearing it. You
Know, time is really a treasure in today's life, and I'm
Grateful that you took that time to listen to this album

So I wish you all the love in the world. And keep that music
Fire burning in your life. And we will see each other soon
I look forward to it. And much love from me, and God bless
