I've known Gary Wray since the 6th grade. He was an artist long before becoming a musician, but that's mostly because we didn't have any instruments. His Father did have a Dobro and a Mandolin and we would get those out occasionally, but we were so dumb, we tried to play the Dobro like a regular guitar!
During the course of our Guzanos years, Gary made a couple of solo tapes, and this one titled "Surrealistic Viewmaster is one he made in 1992.
There is one song on this tape that is probably the most uncharacteristic song Gary ever wrote, and that's because it was a song he made for his Dad. Gary's Dad was named Junior but when we were in high school, we had this running gag, where I called his Dad Mel, and he called me Mel. I don't exactly know why we thought that was so hilarious but we did, so here you go!
