Thanks for the capture and posting.

As a musician, let me tell you Charles is using some series chordes, 11th, 13th, etc. He is truly one of the greatest I have ever heard.

I can't wait to see how Mad TV and SNL portray the Dixie Chicks interview tonight.

Thanks for the idea, fellow northeast Ohioan, I'll have to check those out

I might like Charlies this long, but I really don't like Blues..POOR LAURA!!

[mystery-ak]

It's good thing Ray can't see the audience, he'd be pi$$ed.

[StarFan]

God forgive my cynicism, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if her name suddenly appears, along with the French, in the documents coming to the surface in Iraq.

Howlin, I missed the last 20 minutes last night and didn't realized McCain would be sharing part of the interview. Barf!

[BillF]

Ray Charles singing Hank Williams.....

That's diversity I can dig.

Nice, but I'm waiting for Ray Charles to do a song dedicated to Jacques ChIRAQ:

Hit the road Jacques

and don't you come back no more, no more!

[Bushfanatic]

Ha! I live on west coast! It's only 7:45 right now!

[azGOPgal]

You know, they just showed an update of their schedule at the bottom of the screen, and I missed it.

[ohioWfan]

Does it look like the President is putting a hex on someone in the audience in that pic?

MS Albright, perhaps??

[NeoCaveman]

Mr. Miller makes me regret cancelling HBO, but I'm a poor schmuck ;-)

[RedBloodedAmerican]

The DEMS do NOT want the taxcut to go thru because it means that they wont be in power for the next 10 years. They KNOW it will boost the economy.

[azGOPgal]

I haven't actually seen Laura yet. (Too busy typing on the puter.) What's she wearing and who's she sitting by?

[hole_n_one]

ESPN?.....

[Bushfanatic]

Classical and jazz? You gotta be kidding.

[Jewels1091]

DID the President leave????

[ztiworoh]

Im 17, I like jazz, like blues more though, but my preferences are all across the board, mainly Im into bluegrass, folk music, Elvis Costello type stuff (cant really give it a genre), oretty much anything but rap

[Howlin]

You can be surprised; I, myself, will be thrilled and jump for joy!

[spokeshave]

Wow...the President looks real sharp.......

dems discombobulated, gruntled and concerned

[AGreatPer]

Just switched to xylophone mode. Wow, Must be a Yumaha 4004.
