At least Imus took time on his show today to honor the guy. As Imus said if we cant honor Reagan and Ray at same time were even sadder then we think. Then he even went so far to play a Ray Charles song in a good by to Reagan. Hit the road Jack. A lighter moment needed in this week long buriel.

saw old footage of Ray on this morning s news, Mr. Charles said when he passed he'd wished only to be remembered "as someone who was always sincere & honest about his craft".

I think he accomplished that and so much more. Wish I could say everyone had that attitude, seems you can't get anything done correctly these days oil changed, paper delivered, nothing. Nobody has that PRIDE ANYMORE.
