My Dad was added to the list of Mexican Americans of accomplishment on Wikipedia a couple of years ago. I thought I should share that! #rayvasquez #rayvictor #actor #singer #musician #losangeles #wikipedia #lifewellspent https://www.instagram.com/p/CYr1BnWPzTq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today I’m remembering my father on the day he passed last year. They’ll never be enough paper 📝 for me to be able to touch on all the great memories I have with my dad...But one that really comes to mind is how we would always listen to music. Here’s a picture of us at the Oinkster in Eagle rock. We sat in the parking lot in my car and listened to the full version of the Doors, “Light My Fire”, then we listened to Shirley Bassey‘s version with her big band orchestra, and then we listened to Jose Feliciano‘s version... I remember consciously cherishing the moment and holding my dad‘s hand while we enjoyed the different versions of the one song. Dad’s comment was “What a great drummer” John Densmore -the Doors had. Then we had a great lunch. #dad #daddley #mydad #rayvasquez #grateful https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wGm-kAxr2/?igshid=1is2vxirudkcf

And this just happened! I had this plaque made for the baby grand piano that was donated to Jordon High School in memory of my father Ray Vasquez who attended Jordon High School. His lifelong music career started at Jordon High School @jordanhighschool_la My work is not done at Jordan High. I am creating an outstanding achievement award to encourage students to continue their studies in music. I have asked other kids of well-known Latino Musicians from Los angeles to get involved, so far all I’ve received is crickets. But that’s OK I will plow forward without them. #inmemory #rayvasquez #jordanhighschool #watts #losangeles #makeithappen #musicdepartment #musicians #youth #suppoerthearts #entrepreneur #musiccareer (at Jordan High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3H8Sx_gvcA/?igshid=o307yau62z4j
