Ray Stevens : (3) " As you know, I played a little trumpet with Elvis. I overdub a few drum licks here and there on a session, but I’m not a drummer by any means. " - Ray Stevens " I had no idea that I could sustain a career as an artist. But, I loved music and wanted to be in the music business. " - Ray Stevens " I did recording sessions as a musician as well as a background vocalist and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember singing harmony with Waylon Jennings on a few songs that were hits. Chet Atkins always put me up so high that I strained to hit every note. It was a lot of fun. " - Ray Stevens
