Thanks - that was powerful stuff.
In the early 90s, I was out in California at a convention. A vendor of mine had a private venue at the Robert Mondavi Wine Center. Ray Charles was there with a 25 piece orchestra and put on a show for about 100 of us. I was up front and was so close I could touch his piano. He sang America the Beautiful, and Georgia, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.
