Hello All,
My name is Ray and I live just outside Princeton NJ. I first heard Chris Rea on my honeymoon in Acalpuco, Mexico. Me and my fine wife were at the Las Brisas resort and went to the bar for some drinks. The bar keep put on a tape of "New Lights" and we were blown away, especially when we heard "Fool" and realized that we had both loved that song when it first came out. I asked who the singer was and I was off looking for more material. Safe to say, I own his whole catalog now and was really impressed witht he quality of the recent Blue Guitars set of new discs. Whenever I play his stuff for friends, they love it. I wish he would tour the US. He would kill here.
BTW, I am 42 yo and work for Bristol-Myers Squibb as a medical writer.
Peace, Ray
