This website is an archive of the music and opinion of Dave “Snaker” Ray, the brilliant American blues singer and guitarist from St. Paul, Minnesota, who passed away in 2002. Dave’s intelligence and wit was legendary. He compiled a few of his observations on his website. Our mission is to preserve those thoughts to entertain and enlighten friends and others, while honoring Dave’s memory, and to emulate the design of Dave's original site as much as possible.
