My first original recording done at Budger Records in Frostburg, MD with assistance from Mark Gowans. I supplied lead vocals, bass, rhythm guitar, keys, and lead #1 while Mark contributed backing vocals, lead #2 and his engineering expertise.

Ray Wagner - Blame it on the Girl

My second recorded original, I got the inspiration for this tune at a Thanksgiving Day gathering. For a moment, I felt like everyone in the room was interacting with someone else and I was completely invisible and isolated ("all alone in a crowd makes me want to scream out loud"). I provide vocals, bass, acoustic guitar, and organ. Mark Gowans once again on leads and Chad Garber on drums. To date, I feel this is one of my most powerful offerings.

Ray wagner - Popular

This song is interesting in the sense that it is the first one I completed in my little home studio. I did all the instruments on it including the drum tracking and backing vocals. It's another one of those awkward love themes - this time unattainable love, like that hot little girl that will only date the captain of the football team or the class president. Listen close, and you can hear a veiled reference to the song "Teardrops on My Guitar" by Taylor Swift. I really enjoyed producing this tune solo and got more into layering synths that what I did on other tracks.

Ray Wagner - Keep on Pushin

This is my most recent effort and my first attempt at a harder sound. I programmed the drum tracks and did the synth and bass work on this one as well as acoustic and rhythm guitars. Dee Calhoun provided the vocals, while the leadwork features Tim Wilhelm.
