Rocker and singer-songwriter Brian Ray returned to The Time Machine a few months ago and was not only our guest DJ but also permitted us to play his upcoming album "This Way Up" as a world broadcast debut on the FM dial and online. In addition to performing a couple of his songs live on the air, Brian also let us play his new song "I Found You" that included an absolute killer rock instrumental break. He explained that he something in store for last weekend's halftime show between the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans.

The Time Machine's Summer Blue, Michael McCartney, Jenny Leong and Daphne Matsumoto have been gabbing about this on the radio all week long and now you can see it for yourself!

Brian arranged and produced a tribute to Les Paul featuring Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen and Orianthi from Michael Jackson's band. Brian stated about his guitar partners on stage, "He's a god, she's reDUNKulous!" Add in the 100 kids on guitars for Gibson Foundation's Music In Schools program and you have got an amazing guitar performance.
