Ray Charles in Florida - 1936
from Brother Ray: Ray Charles' Own Story, pages 26-30:
It didn't take Mama long to figure out what was happening. I was going blind…
I still went over to Mr Pit's place and climbed up on the piano stool. By then, even at age six, I could fake a little black-bottom blues of my own.
