Sitting With Gianluca

Sitting with me is veteran traveling musician, Ray Bonneville. Ray has spent the last few decades in a van performing anywhere and everywhere. He’s also been nominated for several awards and has won a few as well. I don’t use the term “journeyman” lightly, Ray has had a long journey – from Juvenile delinquent, marine in Vietnam, bush pilot, taxi driver all before his first record. Here he performs especially for Sitting With Gianluca music podcast. Subscribe for more sit-downs at SittingWith.com
