It was a tremendous joy when the management of Ray Wilson gave us the okay in the middle of December 2013 to interview and meet the singer personally at his concert at the Rex Music-Theater at Bensheim. After the Hooters<\/b>, our children had once again the opportunity to meet an international top-musician<\/b> and to ask him questions about his life and his musical career. Because Ray Wilson had been a singer with GENESIS<\/b>, one of the greatest<\/b> and most popular <\/b>rock bands in the world, we wanted to give also children from Nu\u00dfloch, who were interested in music, the chance to be part of this event. So we raffled a free ticket<\/b> for the show and the interview on our website. What the participants did not know, was, that we could give away not only one but three free tickets (!!!)<\/b>.<\/p>\n Since almost 200 users <\/b>visited our website in the week of the raffle, we were very eager to find out which three children from Nu\u00dfloch would seize this unique opportunity. However, to our great surprise all three winners didn\u2019t come from Nussloch but from Walldorf (???)<\/b>. The three “storks”<\/b> were completely happy as our first manager Alexander H\u00f6fer told them, that they could accompany us to Bensheim to interview this renowned artist.<\/p>\n “Do you want to ask your questions first or shall I play a song for you at the beginning?”<\/b> asked the quiet and pleasant Scotsman the children and made a surprising offer, which they couldn\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n It was a breathtaking moment when the singer in the still deserted and silent musical theater of Bensheim started to sing this melancholy melody with his powerful smoky voice, so that the audience got goose bumps all over their skin. “Wow, this is great,” the children talked in whispers.<\/p>\n Following this great song, which officially accompanied the “World Nature Festival”<\/b> in 2003, Ray, who is living in Poland for some years now, told them that he had been interviewed Like many professional musicians, Ray Wilson originally comes from a very musical family. His grandfather played the violin, his grandmother was a singer and his older brother Steve, who accompanied him on the tour, is playing the guitar and is singing too. At the age of 13, Ray began to busy himself with music, and one year later he had his first major stage appearance as a singer. Shortly afterwards, he self-educated himself to play the guitar Day by day he tried to play his favourite songs for many hours and learnt the relevant chords from a book. In addition to the guitar, which he plays by ear, Ray is also a little acquainted with the harmonica, the bass guitar, the piano and the violin.<\/p>\n Probably when I was singing with GENESIS, probably one of their songs, because they do create sometimes quite complicated arrangements of songs. There is a song called DOMINO<\/b>, which is a really good song, but you really have to got everything right. It starts with the singing on the right time, make sure tthat your are always in time with everything. HOME BY THE SEA<\/b> is also one of the most complicated song I ever played.<\/p>\n Which song is your favourite to perform? Oh, that\u2019s a difficult question. I wrote a song called ANOTHER DAY<\/b>, which I think is my favourite song to perform. It\u2019s got a nice melody and guitar-chords, a little bit more interesting. I like the arrangement of the song, and I like what the lyrics say.<\/p>\n Who are your role models?<\/b><\/p>\n First of all my parents. Also my older brother. Steve played the guitar first, Steve was a singer first. So I always wanted to be better than him. But my parents have been very import for my career. My father used to drive the van to the concerts with all the equipment. My father especially was a big fan of going on concerts and he liked to go and see live music.<\/p>\n![\"Ray](\"http:\/\/animus-klub.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Ray-the-Kids.jpg\")
