It’s a Small World, Bobby Ray!

We visited Sherry’s mama on Easter Sunday at the assisted living apartment she recently moved to, and as we were leaving, we heard some really good live singing coming from the community dining room down the hall. We went to check it out, and imagine our surprise and delight to find that one of those fabulous voices was that of our old friend, Bobby Ray Rankin!

Bobby Ray!

Now, unless you used to frequent the old Spicewood Grill out in Spicewood, Texas, you won’t have a clue who Bobby Ray Rankin is, and even if you did hang out there and try your hand singing along with his karaoke machine, you might not know who I’m talking about. Hint: drop the Rankin, and you might remember plain old “Bobby Ray”.  (hmmm… that didn’t come out sounding right. There’s nothing plain about Bobby Ray!)

Imagine his surprise when he finished singing a beautiful gospel song with his partner, Dennis Evans, of We Win Ministries, then turned to see who was clapping behind them.

We had a wonderful visit, and told Bobby Ray we’d watch the schedule and try to catch one of his shows on one of our trips to see Sherry’s mama.

I’m not sure what his geographical boundaries are, but if you need a fantastic entertainer for a party, or just about any occasion, check out the ol’ “Texas Crooner”, Bobby Ray Rankin. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
