Oh, you know, the usual.
Beatles, Paul Simon, Billy Joel.
Any good songwriters, really, regardless of genre.
I do like some of the old french stuff, Brel, Brassens.
Anybody who lived by their own belief system.

To Order your copy of Ray Heffernan's latest album, "In My Own Time"
I once read a biography on the lives and works of the Beatles called "The Love You Make", and pretty much decided then that THAT was what I wanted to do. Write songs and perform them. It seemed to me then, as it does today, a noble way to live a life, and I've managed to get reasonably good at it.
The music business (although I remain convinced that those two words should never sit in the same sentence) has always frustrated me, and any encounter I've had with it has left me empty. I have been in and out of various contracts throughout my 15 years of writing and performing, but recently came to the conclusion that "there's only one way of life, and that's your own".
I now try to concentrate on the opportunities that songcraft presents to me. I am blessed with the ability to communicate through song, and as a result, I am often invited to sing throughout the world. I therefore try to breathe every moment of this journey deeply into my lungs, in the knowledge that whatever stage I strive for, whatever future goal I may have will only take from my appreciation of this present moment.
thanks for the add ray hope you enjoyed my music and i hope youll enjoy the new tracks thatll be online in the coming weeks.thanks again and take care.
Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ... what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...
but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...
it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ... its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...
what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...
please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
