Final Bow
"Music was one of my parts ... Like my blood. It was a force already with me... It was a necessity for me, like food or water." - Ray Charles
Good lord. I had no idea. UGH.. Very strange how many legends are dying (both substantive and otherwise).
Sad news Maria. The real deal. Through and through.

I am astounded by all the hoopla surrounding Reagan's death. Not that those who loved him and respected him should not have the opportunity to express their sadness, but I think the media has let the sugared portrayals and glossing of his presidency get away from them and now they can't seem to catch it and put a lid on it. Enough is enough.
