I don't know anybody that didn't like Ray Charles.
(saur...not funny)
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Gallows humor. Yeah, I snickered a little and I think Ray would have too.

R.I.P. Ray, I was shocked aswell..

Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life." - Chief Tecumseh

My jazz instructor back in college used to have a funny story.  He got hired on for a tour with Ray Charles back in the early 80's.  During one rehearsal, one of the trumpet players kept missing a note in a certain passage.  Ray stopped the band, turned towards the trumpet player and said, "Damnit, you keep hitting the wrong damn note!  I've told you time and time again to not do that.  You're fired!  Go home and change your shirt, it's ugly as hell!"

True story.

It's sad but he'd want us to celebrate fo sure. Read about him and all he overcame.
