One distinct difference when you hit Ray Baza's website -http://members.xoom.com/DaBaz, is that the choice of music is refreshing, original and complex. But, whatelse would one expect from the premier chamorro website music composer/arranger/producer? (Click on "Meskla" picture to visit the site!)

Ray, known to family and friends as "MusicMan," combines his love of music, the internet, and computers by lending talents to commercial wemasters, video games soundtrack developers, personal homepage builders and anything in-between, composing original music, lending from his repertoire or pre-recorded ones, and, as in the recent tribute to Alex Sian, the departing Webmaster of Kuentos Communications Inc. - Kuentos Guahan Chatroom, setting parodies to old standards.

Ray gives freely - sometimes literally free - of his music to anyone who can claim a connection to Guam and the Marianas. If a chamorro has a homepage going up, the first person to look for and tage would be Ray to 'please fan supply the midi.' And Ray has never, to my knowledge, refused to do so. It's not like Ray doesn't have enough to do, raising a family of three girls (Jacqueray, Dezerray, and RaynaRuth) with his wife, Ruth (the former Ruth Camacho) while handling a nine to fiver, playing gigs with his band Meskla, composing new songs, and well, you get the picture.

But Ray feels a special affinity for his home (Ray -from Yona, Guam) and the Chamorro people, and gives back to them through his gifts of music.
