random notes
Ike says that Ray's been playing down around Oakland. Ike's brother, who lives down there, stay's in closer touch with Ray, than Ike does.
For
those of you living in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can see Ray White doing
some of the old Zappa tunes ("Keep It Greasy", "City
of Tiny Lights") that he used to sing. He
will be performing with a local jazz-oriented band, MMQ, at San Francisco's own
Ramp, on Friday, April 29th, around 5:30pm. MMQ contains some serious Zappa fans, and they have performed
a blistering
version of Zoot Allures for quite some time.
They have recently become friends of Ray's, who lives here in the Bay
Area, and he
has happily agreed to sit in with them for a few gigs.
Ray is currently playing with a killer transvestite blues band, Veronica Klaus, and is in great singing and playing shape, according to MMQ. If you're a San Franciscan, or are going to be in the area on Friday, come out and see the man!!! (The band ain't bad either!)
Ray White is no longer with Veronica Klaus. I have a friend that plays sax for Veronica and he just told me that she has basically an entire new line-up. I'm not sure what he's doing now, but I got to see him perform with my friend at our company X-mas party just after Zappa died and they did a great rendition of Bamboozled by Love!
Ray is no longer a member of Curveball. Ray is working with the drummer of Sly & the Family Stone. This is as of 12/24/95. So Ray will be playing soon in the S.F. area.
From: Sean England
I saw him play with a group called CaCa quite a few times when I lived in
the Bay Area. It's a Zappa cover tune band featuring members of Primus, Limbomaniacs,
MIRV, Mo'fessionals, Fungo Mungo, and Curveball.

The Ilinois Enema Bandit himself, Ray White, performed last Saturday evening at the
Maritime Hall in San Francisco sitting in with Zero. Ray White and Zero guitarist
Steve Kimock have also teamed up for a cable video concert that was recently
broadcast on a local Bay Area television station. The video is available
now by mail.
From: The Greatest Of All Times
Date: Wed, 10
Jun 1998
Ray White has been doing a lot of cool things lately with Zero guitar slinger,
Steve Kimock, and Zero/former Family Stone Participant Bobby Vega.
In fact it appears Zero is going to be history and this little side
project may develop into a more full time type gig. Available for
inspection in the greater Northern Californy region

KVHW with Ray White will be touring in December..
From: Gypsyman3
Due to the unexplained absence from another KVHW gig last weekend by Ray White, KVHW
has announced that Ray is no longer a member of the band. For their upcoming
New Years Eve show at The Maritime Hall in San Francisco, KVHW announced
today that they have enlisted former Zappa singer-guitarist Ike Willis
for the gig. While there was no mention if Willis' particpation would be permenent,
it was noted on the band's website that his choise to succeed White would
be both musically and gramatically correct.
