Ray Charles: Georgia On My Mind

I'm so glad to have my friend Matthew visiting from all the way across the country this week. There's nothing quite like old friends who know all your back-story and still stick around to see where the plot might take you next.

In honor of all the time we used to spend swapping Ray Charles tunes, here's an excellent live performance of one of his classics, written by one of my all-time favorite songwriters, Hoagy Carmichael. Believe it or not, Carmichael was working for an investment company, trying to write songs on the side when he composed this gorgeous piece.
