I saved the links you provided and I will look when stuff slows down and I have a bit of time. I do enjoy Ray Stevens and I think I posted one of his songs against the present clowns in D.C.<br /> Hey Old NFO;<br /> Yes he does and I am glad that he still is performing and doing stuff rather than be "Retired" like a lot of the singers do.<br /> Hey Neil;<br /> Yep, When the streak came out, I was in the 4th grade;) I like finding songs that I listened to back then and forgot about then discovering them later.

Based on some of ...I'm a huge fan of Ray's. Based on some of the things I've seen on your site you may also like his Tea Party/conservative political songs of late. I like the songs...most of them are topical and therefore have become dated, but not all of them. He has a You Tube channel and you can seek out the video uploads if interested...the link is here... https://www.youtube.com/user/raystevensmusic/videos?shelf_id=1&view=0&sort=dd He hasn't uploaded a political song to his channel since about a year ago, a video called "Grandpa Voted Democrat" (a topical song about a certain scandal). Since that time he's mostly uploaded all of the video content that had previously been released on VHS home video and DVD and he's uploaded a lot of sketches and performances from his 1970 Summer television program, too. If you search his videos you'll easily find the political content...the songs have such titles as "Obama Budget Plan", "Mr. President - Mr. President", "Obama Nation", "The Global Warming Song", "Throw the Bums Out!", and others. He started including political commentary into his music in 2009. As mentioned, it's been a little more than a year since he last uploaded a political song (November 2012), but in interviews he often talks about politics if asked. Oh, I have a fan created blog page all about Ray Stevens just in case you or anyone else wants to see more about him. It's called The Ray Stevens Music Journey. He's been in the music industry, in some facet or another, since 1957.ACcountryFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445878735424575807noreply@blogger.com
