<< Ray Charles will be playing relatively nearby. Has anyone seen him recently and is the show worth going to. Bear in mind that going would mean major hardship for me as it's on a Friday night a few hours away and as a new restaurant owner that's no kind of recipe for success. I do however fucking love Ray Charles. >> Nicholas, I saw him for the first time last summer at the Hollywood Bowl. His voice sounded wonderful, and several times I got goose bumps listening to him do his thing. The only drawback, he played for no more than 60 minutes total. Still, I was pretty thrilled not only to finally see this legend, but to see him perform so well. Neal Weiss
