I didn't realize the interview was on msnbc and was waiting for it on nbc. Switched to the dinner and taping that. I think I'll have to try and beg msnbc to run the Brokaw interview again. I REALLY wanted to tape that. I watched it last night. Fregards, FV

As a musician, let me tell you Charles is using some series chordes, 11th, 13th, etc I love his rendition of "It Had To Be You"! Wonderful job -- uh oh, he just goofed on a chord.

[nicmarlo]

I grew up listening to classical, rock, blues, country, and played the flute for three years .... but in no way consider myself an expert, but do have deep appreciation for great sound, no matter the style.

[CedarDave]

Did you catch a shot of Wolf Blitzed trying to see through a camera lens?

[azGOPgal]

Bushie, you should really at least listen to classical and opera. I thought I would hate it, but I love it. SOme of it is so calming. And I listen to all that normal teen music too. Punk, rock, country. You should really give it a try.

[lainie]

"pretended."

[CaliforniaOkie]

I looked him up. He had an aritical defending Blumanthal and Al Gore several years ago.

[jackbill]

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.

And what do you have to be to continue, on and on, when it is obvious that the audience is somewhere else?

The guitar guy is dancing with his guitar...there that horrible woman that reports from the UN, she has such an AWFUL voice...squeeky meets vally girl!!

[hole_n_one]

I think so, from ESPN.

[maranatha]

What kind a reporter would bring up the Dixie Chicks to the President in a limited time interview with all the complexities the President is handling for the country? You can only ask so many questions, that's insulting.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Also...if anyone cares, I Love Eric Clapton and Bob Seger. Just to throw that in.

[HairOfTheDog]

Look around the room.... these ain't high school and college kids. Dancing in an evening gown and a tux *is* dancing to music like this.... not Smashing Pumpkins!

[AGreatPer]

I got the model of Yamaha wrong, it is a KX88, out of my price class.

[ztiworoh]

I just can't get into christina pop, I dont know, I like my religious music traditional, like latin chants and old european hymns, but to each his own... Some of them are quality musicians though, Ill give them that, I just prefer more traditional music when it comes to religion

[eddie willers]

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

They need to hear it LIVE!
My business is hifi and a $50,000 set-up won't touch a real instrument.

[NeoCaveman]

Sweet! Dedicating one to the pres

[nicmarlo]

President just shook hands with Ray and he's now singing a song, dedicating to the President.
