Ray

11 Jun 2004

I am so upset about Ray Charles' passing. I know he was old, and sick, and not making music any more, but I still can't help but feel like a little light has gone out somewhere.

Whatever Reagan-remebering was being done in this house (little to none) has been usurped by Ray's death. If we need somebody to honor, let's honor "The Genius": he grew up poor, blind (after the age of seven) and an orphan, and managed to make one hell of a life for himself through music.

My Ray records will be turning in mourning.
