Gary and others were remarking about the interpretation of "Georgia" by Ray Charles...universally associated with the most recognized rendition.

Somewhere is a YouTube recording of a brilliant Canadian guitarist named Lenny Breau playing a version that brings tears to your eyes.

Check out this sadly departed genius. This is proof that real emotion can be eloquently expressed without singing a note.

He is one of the brightest stars who ever lived in the jazz and/or "pickers" fields.

His playing touched me deeply (and made me a bit jealous).
