"He Saw The Dream, He Didn't See The Nightmare"

      I promise, this is the last post on this topic, but it sounds like Ray Charles' funeral was incredibly moving, a genuinely ecstatic (in the original meaning of that word, ex-stasis) experience. This is the sort of ceremony I admire: earthy, genuine, celebratory, with a lot of obvious real love in the room. Hallelujah.

      For those of you with some time on your hands (and a decent connection to the Internet), you can hear the ceremony by following this link.
