Your tour seems quite interesting. Am looking forward to reading about it.

Ray Charles is one of those people who I wish I could have seen. Kristofferson is one of my favorites. I saw him at the Ryman Auditorium several years ago. In fact, he is performing there this week.

I haven’t finished the book, yet. However, I read a book about the making of The Searchers recently. That was a great one.

Loved this and went searching for some of Bobby’s music…..VERY much like one of my favorites……..Ray Charles. Saw my first concert in Atlanta. The Rayettes were on too long, I thought…..but, I had NO IDEA what I was to be privileged to not only HEAR but SEE for the next solid hour and a half……the great High Priest whom I had never heard. INSTANT hero worship. There was NO QUESTION but that he was totally immersed and joyously happy to be playing and singing his music. Many years have gone by, (over 40), and I have heard and watched Ray play with so many others, including my favorite, Willy Nelson, (will soon be writing about my daring meeting with him backstage of the Miami Marine Stadium where he and a helicopter flown in Kris K. did a fantastic perormance). Wouldn’t I have loved to see a duo of Ray and Bobby together! Thanks for introducing me to this man I had never heard mention of.

Did you ever finish TBM? If you would like to write a review of it, I will post it in my fledgling blog which should grow rather rapidly as my other reviewers get theirs out. You will be in very good company, that I can say. Also, you can review it at Amazon.com. If your HTML for your site is not too long, it should stay on the review and you will have a great many new people introduced to your blog….up to YOU to keep them, LOL!

Thanks again for my intro to Tommy. I will ask some of my older singers and band members if they knew him and have access to any of his music. If so, I will send it on to you. KEITH (Hawks Will)

You’ve lived a most interesting life. I’d love to read more about it.

I’ve also had broke musicians sleeping on my couch who became millionaires, at least for a moment. The ones who know consider themselves the luckiest people in the world, to be doing what they love to do. Also played on the street for food a few times…like you say, a lot of talent earning a case scattered with change and dollar bills. That’s why I liked your post so much. Be interesting to know how he felt about his unrealized aspirations.
Later…

The movie is pretty dated. It’s ok.

It’s sounds like I need to though.
