If you delve into opera, Bushie, try a Renee Fleming. She has a beautiful voice.

Ohio, have you every listened to any of Fleming's stuff? She was at a Kennedy Center Honors about two years ago, and the one yr anniv that Mrs. Bush organized. I love her voice. It's just so amazing. HEr and Placido Domingo.

Maybe that pic can become a new 'lightning bolt from the finger' pic for the ZOT threads . . . .

A Traficant moment eh?

[Swede Girl]

The audience is not showing much respect to Mr. Charles, but I think they are mostly Democrats so that explains it....no class.

[ohioWfan]

Hmmmmmm......do I detect a closed mind there BF??

NOT a good thing for a young Conservative!

Give them both a try. REALLY listen to them, without predisposed distaste for them.

Your mind will be changed by the power of the music......if you let it.

Somebody musta told ol Ray this was his "Farewell Concert"!

[Carolinamom]

These people in the audience are incredibly rude. Too busy "working the room" to be gracious.

[Bushfanatic]

Yeah, I saw that.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

"Freedom of speech is a two-way street". But liberals dont see it that way. They want only their rights.

[justshe]

Anyone know who is sitting to President Bush's immediate left? He's been talking with GWB quite a bit.

[AGreatPer]

I think you have to be a musician to understand some of the chords Ray is using. He is absoultely the best I have ever heard and does it in, like, a passive mode.

Brokaw just brought up the Dixie chicks to W. "They have a right to speak their mind and people have a right not to buy their records."

LOL, the Pres is up on all events current. : )

[mystery-ak]

It had to be you...My hubby's and I song....sigh :(....I wish he'd call.

[jackbill]

Ray Charles is very cool, I might add.

Would you tell us how you tell a blind man that he is bombing? I think that it is pathetic. Someone should just pull the chain on him. It's criminal.

[azGOPgal]

My darned Senator just can't keep his mouth shut. I think he's just trying to make up for the lost press coverage since he wasn't elected Pres.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I lived in East Liverpool, Ohio once.

[AmericanVictory]

Get his album, Ray Charles does Country

[Bushfanatic]

I really like Christian pop/contemporary. Rebecca St. James rocks!

[gidgetgirl3]

Luckily Ray can't see them....
