Ray Stevens: "Wrapped in the Flag" Memorial Day 2022...

Hello once again Ray Stevens fans!! Earlier in the month Ray released "Wrapped in the Flag", a recitation by Larry Black. Ray produced the recording and played the keyboard. It received a lot of attention the day it was released and a few days ago it was spotlighted on the website, Music Universe. The video's been accessed by more than 24,000 people (24,126 so far) and I'm hoping that number grows in the next couple of days. The patriotic and military overtone of the visuals lends itself to Veteran's Day but this recitation is uniquely tied to Memorial Day as you listen and watch. I've embedded the YouTube video below this paragraph but if you want to visit Music Universe and watch the video there or share the video from their website you can do so by clicking HERE. The reason I say that is because I'd like for that website to get some traffic for their Ray Stevens post. Anytime I come across a website that promotes the music or the overall career of Ray Stevens I leave a link in this blog so that visitors will be able to read and possibly share those websites. It enables the website authors to know that Ray has an online presence...and by accessing, liking, commenting, or sharing content about Ray it lets the website authors know that they should continue to provide coverage of Ray's music.  

Memorial Day isn't officially until tomorrow (Monday) but this is considered Memorial Day weekend nonetheless and so I decided to bring back focus on "Wrapped in the Flag"...


Ray Stevens was in concert at the CabaRay last night. He performs there on select Thursday nights and regularly on Saturday nights. I don't know if he's inserted the recitation into his concerts or not. My guess is, if it's been added to his set-list, it's played on the jumbotron above the stage...if anyone's attended a concert at the CabaRay during the month of May let us know if it's part of his set-list. Larry Black is the host of Larry's Country Diner which airs on RFD-TV. If you're familiar with Ray's music video, "The Dooright Family", Larry plays the role of Virgil Dooright.
