ray's Place
Ray runs a small recording studio (we call it Ray's Place), in his home town of Santa Barbara CA. The Romantic Guitar and Cancion del Sueno Cd's were both recorded there.
When they are not touring, Ray and Tony can be found at Ray's Place at least a couple times a month. It's a nice, small, but nice little studio with great mics and a high end engineer...Ray!
