Dec-01-16 | | zanzibar: That's a relief, for a second or two I thought it might have been a practical joke at Ray's expense- i.e. that some joker had turned the keyboard off on him! |

 | | HeMateMe: Most of us were playing checkers but ray was playing chess... Loved the scene in the movie <ray> where Jamie Fox (ray Charles) tells a red neck cop "i was blinded during the D-day invasion" and then the guy left him alone. |
|
Nov-09-21 | | Caissanist: Per Wikipedia, Charles learned to play chess when he was trying to kick a 15-year heroin addiction. His psychiatrist taught him how to play, and they would play three times a week as part of his therapy. |
