I was working the event, and got to meet Ray Charles and the Ray ettes.

Ray was wearing a florescent orange Jacket.

The whole weekend blew my mind...I was 20 years old and one lucky lucky freak.

I was at this one , too . The one time I got to see Miles - well, hear him , as his back was to the crowd most of the set ...

The only time I got to "see" him as well.

i was there too...84, 85, 86...90, 91

Nice Jambone !!

Used to park by there when surfing Ruggles in the early 70s.

I was there in 83 with Ella Fitzgerald, and the America's Cup boats coming in from their practice rounds. Nice day
