Where am I?
2005-2006

I have been working in some exquisite rooms on some of the most wonderful ships on the seas.
My performances have gone down very well  and I am now  spoiled for choice as to what ship to go on next.
You can always get me through my agent or directly to my new email; raycoussins@yahoo.com

Now until the end of January 2010
I will be sailing on the
Sapphire Princess 
Los Angeles with a series of seven day cruises to the Mexican Riviera.

February 28th to June 10th 2010
I will be sailing on the
 Golden Princess
for a series of 15 day trips travelling from Los Angeles to Hawaii and back to Los Angeles.

Then from August 30th until March 2011 we will be sailing on 30 day adventures from Los Angeles to Sydney Australia and back to Los Angeles .
 
Its back to entertaining all the wonderful folk I meet on these incredible cruises

I received this lovely email:

To: raycoussins@yahoo.com
 

  Ray:  This was our 11th cruise, but none was more memorable than the cruise aboard the Island Princess to Alaska, from August 25th thru August 31st.  With your awesome display of talent and music appreciation.  I thoroughly enjoyed  your  renditions of  "Rhapsody in Blue", "Phantom of the Opera", and of course, "My Way"- - - - - now known as "the Perfect Trifecta" (I felt as though "Frank" was there  acknowledging  your talent and smiling in appreciation!)    I am sure that I speak, not only for myself and my wife, but for all those  "cruisers" who were delighted with your  creativity and responded with thunderous approval, when I say the cruise  and the Alaska experience was a "Masterpiece"  highlighted  by The Master himself---Mr. Ray Coussins. 
 
 Hope to be able to  enjoy a repeat performance  sometimes during 2009.  
To a Gentlemen  and  truly    " a friend "   , we wish you well and much continued success.        Jerry  & Mil Kline

 

It was a very happy time for me to meet so many wonderful folk on my recent cruises on the
Golden and Sapphire Princess Ships.

Thank you for the happy times that we shared and I truly look forward to seeing you again this year.

I recently recorded a great concert with some fine musicians.

This is now on the new Concert Video Page-Its set up is similar to a UTube Format so

that you can download copies of the music to your own computer and cell phone.

Please click this line to go straight there.

 

I know that some folk would like to have some of my music  but I have no CD’s available at this stage 
However, if I manage to get some made I will mention it here as soon as possible.

Please listen to some more of my downloadable music on this page.
