It's the 1970 Ray Stevens Show...

Good early afternoon all the Ray Stevens fans!! Since my computer's been out of commission I've been using a relative's laptop and it just doesn't have the same feel as my computer and so I've been inactive on this blog and at other places. Also, because I'm not on my computer, I no longer have access to the various images of Ray Stevens that had been stored on my computer. Luckily I saved a lot in the various photo hosting sites that I'm a member of but there are a lot of other images that were exclusive to my computer and they're, in effect, gone. Once I get a different computer it'll take no time at all to track down the images I once had and save them again but being on a laptop is not like being on a computer (at least from my experience). 

Ray Stevens has uploaded five new videos onto You Tube recently! Two of those videos were uploaded about half an hour ago. The videos are classics...scenes taken from his 1970 television show!! Yes, you read that right!! Ray's 1970 summer television program that has never, ever, ever seen the light of day on DVD has now surfaced, in bits and pieces, on You Tube. The other great thing about these is that they come from Ray's channel which means that they're official.



In the above clip you'll see Ray interact with himself...three images of Ray appear on the screen together. As mentioned, Ray's show aired in 1970, and this was great use of special effects at a time when very little was being used on variety shows of the era.

In the clip below you'll see Ray and George Lindsey having a chuckle or two...



Here's another upload from Ray's summer program...



Nobody knows if these clips are part of a future DVD release or if they're simply for on-line availability. I'd certainly love to see every episode of Ray's show become available on DVD!! Time will tell!! You can check out the other two uploads at his channel...you'll love them, too!!
