Ray

I took the books to Hillcrest library and the librarian was really friendly. She advised me to re-issue The Falcon at the Portal, and I borrowed two more books by Elizabeth Peters. They are all due on 4 January next year when the library open again.
We chose The Merchant of Venice to watch in the evening, but the DVD is broken so we watched Ray. It was a movie about Ray Charles the jazz/country pianist who was blind. His mother was not educated so she had to wash sheets to earn a living. His brother was killed when he fell into the washing basket. Ray slowly turned blind when he was seven. His mother taught him that he had to learn how to live even though he is blind. He was later sent away to school for the blind to learn how to read and write.
I like his music, but his lifestyle wasn't very good. In the end, he went to the rehabilitation centre to quit drugs. He is determined then.
It is a good movie. The music is great.
