Brush with Greatness ---------- Ray Charles' band
An occasional series.
Dr. ER and I were privileged to be in Washington, D.C., on July 4, 2000.
Privileged because it was the beginning of the new millenium. Privileged because it was before 9/11. Washington will never be the same, which is a shame. We love the place.
We were part of the large crowd on the Capitol lawns who saw wonderful fireworks and heard Ray Charles sing his beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful" on the Fourth of July.
We were staying at the fancy-schmancy Washington Court Hotel, just about hollerin' distance from Capitol Hill. Click on the link above to check it out.
While in the hotel bar, we saw Ray Charles' band arrive. Ray Charles, of course, did not. (Moan).

If'n she can put up with you, I'm guessin' you'd better've done somethin' special for her B-Day. Pass along my greetings to Dr. ER.
Now, as far as this Brush with Greatness theme you've got here: How about the obvious? You actually rode in the elevator with E.L. Gaylord once or twice, and he laughed at the conversation you were having.
:-)
E.R., what do you think about meetin' at the Edmond field house and watchin' our alma mater's grapple? I think it starts at 4.
