today i am in mourning (i will miss him...)

no, not Ronnie Reagan!

Ray Charles passed away last night at the age of 73. (here is the Washington Post Obituary)

Please have a minute of silence today in remembrance of him.

And here, have a song (I am taking this offline after today, get it while you can.) It is a cover of a Beatles song, but I love his delivery of it and I find it oddly apropos considering the media is still so focused on the death of Reagan.

Rest in Peace Ray Charles Robinson, The Genius of Soul.
