Ray Stevens CabaRay Nashville...Season Six taping...

Hello all...and as you all notice the title of this blog entry I'm giving a brief update on the busy week taking place in the world of Ray Stevens. There are taping sessions taking place at the CabaRay for the upcoming Season Six of his television series. Some of the artists scheduled to appear are Moe Bandy, Linda Davis, Ronnie McDowell, and many others. The sessions began yesterday and they're the first wave of episodes to tape at the CabaRay showroom. At the moment Season Five is currently underway in local syndication on PBS. Jenny Gill guest starred on last weekend's episode and this weekend the special guest will be Tracy Lawrence. The local PBS station in my area is repeating Season Three and so I am only able to see episodes of Season Five by way of Ray's premium web-site, raystevens.tv.

Each episode is uploaded onto the site a week after it's aired. This means Jenny Gill's episode from last weekend will be uploaded onto the premium web-site this coming weekend. Even though I'll be seeing the episodes a week later it's not a problem...it's better than not being able to see them at all.

If you're a frequent visitor of social media sites in general then you should have seen the photographs that have emerged on-line from the CabaRay taping sessions. Ray's staff has posted photo's from taping sessions involving Linda Davis, for example. Tomorrow it's a taping session for Ronnie McDowell's episode according to his web-site. I came across a photo shared on-line featuring Ray and personality Terri Minton. In the photo she left a comment giving thanks for being at a taping of Ray's television show. The Season Six episodes are still in their production stage. Usually it takes anywhere from half a year to perhaps a full year before they make it to the airwaves following the intricate post-production/editing process and so I'll speak more about Season Six episodes the closer it gets to their actual airing.

The Season Five episodes currently airing were taped, for example, in the fall of 2017. You can do an on-line search for "Ray Stevens + Tony Orlando", for example, and come across a link to an Instagram photo from August 2017 in which Ray commented on the fun day taping another episode of the television show and the guest was Tony Orlando. His episode is scheduled as the 12th of Season Five and so there's still some time to go until that episode airs. After this taping session concludes he'll then be in concert at the CabaRay next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (February 14th, 15th, and 16th). The television show's announcer, Bill Cody, appears in a super brief video clip promoting the venue's group rates.



This video clip appeared on YouTube back on his birthday (January 24th) promoting the CabaRay and it being a perfect place to take your Valentine. It's been re-posted since then. I originally shared the clip on this blog back in late January and I, too, am re-posting it as a reminder...
