Ray Mann Bio
WHEN I WAS A CHILD GROWING UP ABOUT 8 YEARS OLD I HAD A GUITAR IN MY HANDS AND PLAYING SONGS BY RADIO. MY FAMILY WAS PRETTY MUCH POVERTY LEVEL AND DIDN''T HAVE VERY MUCH. I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR AND SING BY MOSTLY LISTENING TO THE RADIO, PICKING NOTES TO TUNES BY GEORGE JONES, MERLE HAGGARD, ELVIS PRESLEY, HANK SNOW, JOHNNY CASH, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. AS I GREW OLDER I WAS AMAZED BY WHAT I WAS LEARNING AND PRETTY MUCH TEACHING MYSELF.
AT THE AGE OF 12 MY FAMILY STARTED A GOSPEL GROUP AND MY DAD CALLED US THE SINGING MANNS. I WAS THE ONLY MUSIC WE EVER HAD UNTIL I WAS ABOUT 14 YEARS OLD.
MY DAD HAD ANOTHER GUY ADDED TO OUR GROUP AND HIS NAME WAS LARRY ROBINSON AND HE ALSO PLAYED A GUITAR, SO HE TAUGHT ME A LITTLE MORE AND HELPED ME BRUSH UP ON A FEW MORE THINGS.
AT THE AGE OF 14, I WROTE MY VERY FIRST SONG IT WAS A GOSPEL SONG CALLED MY PRAYER. WE SANG THAT SONG EVERY WHERE WE WENT AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY GOOD NUMBER. WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN BELIEVE IT OR NOT I TURNED INTO A REBELIOUS TEENAGER AND LEFT HOME WANTING TO EARN MY OWN WAY, AND MADE FAIRLY DECENT MONEY.
I PLAYED IN A FEW BARS THAT WOULD LET ME IN, AND IN THE DAY I BUILT HOUSES. BY THE TIME I WAS 18 I RETURNED HOME AND MARRIED A GIRL AT 19 AND WE HAD TWO BOYS, JUSTIN NOW 25 AND DANIEL NOW 21.
