This is wonderful, Ray. Beautifully played. I really enjoy this kind of music.

It is said that they bring a high Speed train to vegas 🚅

Outstanding! Thanks, Ray!

Very excellent production Ray! Another job well done!

GOOD JOB Ray...love it!

Hi, I commented on another atonal video asking your permission to use your music. You had said yes, and thank you. I am in early stages yet. I am making a video game set in the far future and in my head when I think of the setting, I hear... sometimes plucked string serialism, sometimes taiko drums. This was difficult to hold at times (not your fault, that's *the* challenge of serialism), but some of the sections feel naturally musical in spite of the challenge. 1:29, 1:58, 2:29, 3:28, I love the allusion to Chopin at 6:07.

Wow! Thanks a lot. After literally years of trying to find your free Africa tab I found it. Now I am going to apply for a job with NASA. This is by far the best version as I dont have to sing the sometimes aweful, sometimes beautiful lyrics, a weird paradoxical poetics to the lyrics.

As a kid, 2:32 traumatized me enough to always stop and look both ways when at a rr crossing😅

Hey Ray , how are you

I'm actually blown away by this. I clicked on this to try and learn. I'm years away. Hat's off my friend!

I would pay you for a top down recording of this so I could tab it out

This WAS my childhood, still have a letter I wrote you and never sent somewhere

Great View! 😮❤

I like listening to Country Ray Junior. This is Awesome then Classic Rock, you know. I've been listening to it on the radio station & on YT Music as well.

Dear Ray my name is Bruce i have just seen this video for the 200th time . I myself grew up around trains two my father was a locomotive engineer for the Canadian National Railways i enjoyed many rides on first and second generation locomotives . There is nothing more said the the death of a railway as a young boy i used to run model trains myself as you did now today its very important to remember railway history otherwise they will forget railway history i myself think history and videos should be seen in schools . I myself grew up in British Columbia Canada so i had many memories of the three railways operating around BC (Canadian National and Canadian Pacific and Great Northern and British Columbia railway ) my father and i would go rail fanning around British Columbia and some times Washington State as far as Seattle thank you for the great memories the video you made is very good I hope you are feeling better now and i wish you the best Thank you Bruce

Had to subscribe from the first 5 seconds of video. Very nice!

I like yr version better than mark’s

Ray! This is so beautiful and meaningful! Thank you for such a beautiful song! Prayers for you and your brother! 🥰🙌🙌

Well played! Love that bounce!

May I use this audio in an indie game, your name in the credits?

Bravíssimo!

I enjoyed listening to this very much🙂

Thank you for sharing this. It makes sense that the railroad was the reason for the origin of Mendota, but I hadn't previously thought about it.

Very nice Ray. The flow and feeling of this one is beautiful. And the room acoustics sound great!

Beautifully done Ray!

hello ray, great music you do, i'm the silent majority who never comment on videos, but feel i should, given how many times i have watched and learned to try to play fingerstyle better , ive been playing for 30 years mainly the the electric shredding always looking for songs to improve my other side i must have watched the burt bach. this guy...you did a hundred times. this impro your doing is wonderful...im making my way through your channel. all the best Dean Rawson 49 yrs from the uk.

Good thing Ray 👍 Since hopefully the new Apartment will help you with no loud Family to me is alot better.

Amazing

Good Video pointing out everything in the area

I know the feeling, though I must say my upstairs neighbors are not as bad as you describe, as far as I can hear only the child stomps from time to time. But at least at night they settle down. So he plays video games on speakers at high volume all night? That's not ok, you could call the police for that in Europe if he does it at night. Meanwhile I recommend a white noise machine, helps to mask some of the noise. Nice channel btw

👍

The Amtrak California Zephyr is operated by Chicago Burlington and Quincy Rio grande and western pacific and it departs Chicago’s union station goes through Iowa Nebraska Colorado Utah Nevada and Northern California

Sir ,is it natural tone or do you use pedals?

Another great video Ray ! Thank you !

Beautiful song, and beautiful playing

Muy bueno, me gusta mucho esta canción 👍

10:04 I can see my house from that spot……wait no I can’t, it wouldn’t be built for another 15 or so years

Muy bueno maestro 😄 👍

Muy bueno el tutorial maestro Ray Tutaj jr 😃👍

Excellent Video Ray….. a lot of photos here I’ve never seen…. Great Job

❤excellent 🙏

This was incredible, and the scenery at the end tied it into earlier times. I am so sorry that you are going through that living situation. My positive thoughts are with you.

Why are you complaining? At least you have a floor over your head instead of open sky like a lot of people. You don't seem to appreciate what a friend has done for you either. You look like an incredibly miserable person. How you play such beautiful music with that attitude is beyond my understanding. Of course it could all be a joke.

sounds good

Take sometime Ray and I know with Family it can be hard sometimes but I am here for ya

Makes me wish my family still had our old rental house. It had 3 bedrooms with a small kitchen and living room and a bathroom along with a separate garage and small garden shed. A small backyard with a big shade maple tree which you wouldn’t have had to rake up we would do all that along with cutting the grass. And the best part we would have been neighbors across the street and Tyler would be next door as well.

As a Railroader who lives next to the ex Illinois Central Tracks (now owned by CN) I always remember hearing this story.

Hey Ray, just stumbled across this. Absolutely beautiful! I’m adding this to the repertoire of a new band my son and I are kicking off, Son of a Gun and Son. I listened to Eddie sing this on my parent’s turntable, 101 times. I’ve always loved it. Years ago, on a ski trip with my high school class to Brianhead, Utah… Some local kids from St. George came to party with us. One of the young guys there picked up a guitar and played this song. it has so many great memories for me. Thank you for breaking out these great licks. I’ll send you the video after Spencer and I get it figured out.
