Ray R. Myers was a native of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. (note that this is postmarked from Lancaster leading me to believe he was mailing this from his home to a fan or friend)

He was steel guitar player, and that would be a story of inspiration for anyone for you see, Ray was born without arms.

He was the fifth in a family of nine children. He graduated from the local Allentown High School. His musical career started off in the high school band where he played the trombone. Later on he bought a Hawaiian steel guitar. He had lofty aims to learn this instrument, so he kept the steel guitar under his bed until he learned it.

He began performing at the local events, such as churches and amateur contests. Then, the local radio station in Lancaster, WGAL, gave him a program.

In 1937, it seems that Cowboy Loye, who was then starring at the WWVA Original Jamboree, happened to hear the "Armless Wonder" as they called him and hired him to play on WWVA with him. That springboard opened other doors and its said that he played other radio stations in the south.

By 1953, he had a daily show over radio station WPDX in Clarksburg, West Virginia, where he was appearing with the Mays Brothers and Cindy Coy.
