Ray Charles on Carson (Pt. 3) - Oh What A Beautiful Mornin’ (via billyblaze67)
What a musical genius. Man, I love this. I miss Ray Charles. The Tonight Show Band was so stupendous. Why can’t we hear anything this wonderful on television any more?
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World (via Geneticc)
I don’t ever get tired of this. Somebody play this at my funeral and have a big screen and have people sit there and realize what a beautiful world it is, despite all the troubles and pain that come, if you’ll just look around, there’s so much beauty in this world. The moon, the cloud, the soft breeze, warm sunshine.
The Marks of Suffering
“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.” Tender Is The Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald
If you know anything about Fitzgerald, you know that there was a good bit of suffering in his life. Some he brought on himself, some was just “fate” or whatever you want to call it that brings calamities our way. And with suffering, it is so true that “there is nothing to be done about it.”

Somebody's Prayin'
I love this song. We bought a Ricky Skaggs CD recently and discovered this song on the last track of the CD. For all of those I love who are having difficulties, do know that that somebody praying for you is me.
