Now we don't wanna accuse anybody of anything but...We invented this Ray Price Clock as a fun stage gag back in the Spring of 2002 and when the minute hand would reach the top and bottom of the hour we would declare it "Ray Price Time!" and do a Ray Price song to spread the gospel of the Cherokee Cowboy and his heady honkytonk days since in our humble opinion he is one of the most talented and influential singers and figures of country music history also being the innovator of the shuffling country beat (known by those "in the know" as the Ray Price shuffle) that was the cornerstone the Bakersfield Sound was built upon. We started bringing this clock out which says RAY PRICE TIME and later that year came the news the Cherokee Cowboy ditched the tuxedo and string sections and went back to his honkytonk roots and released a record called RAY PRICE-TIME which is a fabulous record for Ray Price fans everywhere. Is that just a coincidence? Is there something else at work here? Is the Cherokee Cowboy a secret fan of ours? Hmmm... See proof below.

The end hath come...

We are very sorry to anounce the Ray Price Clock has suffered a tragic death! We are not sure what happened exactly but we decided to take it out to a recent show and it wasn't running so when we opened up the back to replace the batteries, we noticed the entire ticking mechanism had some sort of nuclear meltdown as the whole thing was warped and bubbled from overheating. The whole thing seems very suspicious. Could this be the work of undercover Cherokee agents?
