Ray Lamontagne

I am a pretty big dork. Ask anyone who knows me…they’ll tell you the same. I’m a nerd who is completely happy in his dorkiness. I think that started…or at least intensified…the summer before I started High School. I lived in one of the prettiest places on earth, Mountain Green, UT and had great dorky friends. My really good friends that summer were Chris Walthers, Murray Triplett, and Ray Lamontagne. We liked to play D and D and a Tolkein role playing game that I don’t really remember and just generally basked in nerdiness. I loved it and have always remembered those people and times with a lot of fondness.

I was bored today during a break at work and decided it might be cool to Google the names of old friends. I tried Ray Lamontagne first and found his website. Check it out and listen to the music there…he is excellent. It was fun to listen to the tunes and remember that this was the guy who used to jump on my trampoline with me and Murray while we all pretended we were fighting dragons and orcs. (I told you I was a nerd!)

Heh…I guess this post isn’t very good publicity for Ray so I’ll stop…but it sure is cool to see that a friend from a long time ago has made such a success of himself through his great talents.

UPDATE:
Wow…Murray has a movie that he wrote/directed listed on IMDB and another film making the festival circuits…thats pretty cool too. I had talented friends!
