An excerpt from an August 2002 interview with Minneapolis folk-blues legend Dave Ray, who died on 11/28/2002. Ray talks with MPR’s Dale Connelly about how hearing classical guitarist Andre Segovia perform changed his life.
Ray was a guitarist and a member of the Twin Cities trio Koerner, Ray and Glover. Ray and the group were an influence on musicians for more than four decades, impacting everyone from Bob Dylan and Beck to the Beatles and Bonnie Raitt.
