Savannah Sky & Ray Pasnen.

Ray’s Former Bands

Bands with whom Ray has performed

Choice recorded several albums and I have converted one into a format that can be downloaded or streamed onto your computer. This was taken from the cassette that I have of the Choice album, "Here's To You" featuring Ray Pasanen, Skin Byron and Jeff Jandreau. You will hear a few drop outs and such but considering the tape was 23 years old or something, it sounds pretty good.

The incredible range of songs and in-depth knowledge of the country dance scene made Savannah Sky one of New York City's most promising acts!
