    Beautiful tribute to Ray Charles, loved the railroad museum, I have a great fondness for the railroad, my little town in Connecticut was the hub for the railroad at one time, going to Springfield MA, Providence RI, New York. We have a small museum always warms my heart. ♥️ ty Jordan and Jah🐾

    Hey Jordan! Long time fan of the channel. I can't believe you visited Albany?! That's where I was born as well. I grew up there! Been to Jimmy Hot Dogs all my life growing up. What a trip you're there!! I'm a burn survivor at the age of 10. It was a terrible tragedy. I went through many surgeries growing up, I literally went through hell growing up here, but alot of people in Albany was praying for me when I was in the Shriners hospital for children in Galveston TX ... When I grew up I moved right away & bought a farm in Alabama! I have a son now and life is very good, I attribute it to my everlasting faith in Christ. Love ya, Jordan! Great to see you in my first hometown!!

      Btw Jordan, it is a very dangerous city ... I grew up having to walk my little brother home everyday because of gang's. There was times we would be walking from school and people would peel out of a car, and we would have to throw down with them and fight them off in the street. Not a good place to grow up that's for sure! Especially being a burn survivor ... It was very difficult. I guess it made me tough but I definitely could of went without all that. It used to be a good town to raise a family, not anymore. It's gotten very bad over the years. I'm super glad I don't live there anymore!!

    Interesting story for ya Jordan, my wife and I were there 2 years ago to visit my daughter who is stationed at the Marine base there. We visited the Ray Charles Memorial and when we got there 2 people were leaving the area in a hurry. We found a very small kitten laying on the sitting bench and it was soaking wet. The fountain had water in it at that time and we were sure that they had tried to drown that kitten. My wife picked it up and dried him off and tried to keep getting water out of his lungs. We went to Walmart and got him a cage and took him home with us back to Oklahoma City. He is in great health today and we named him Charles after Ray Charles. We just visited there again 2 weeks ago.

    Interesting vlog Jordan. Such a great singer. Sad story about how he became blind. I had always assumed that he had been blind since birth. Love your honesty about the town. Greatly appreciated. We traveled across the country last year & there were times & towns where we knew to be extra careful. Dogs looked Great! Fun seeing Jah too. 🌭🎶💜

    Glad to see you stop in my hometown of Albany. Paula Deen is also from Albany (she graduated from Albany High School). When I lived in LA, I would come home - get Jimmie's Hot Dogs and freeze them to take them back with me so I would have a little bit of home for a little while LOL You think Jimmie's are good now, they were even better back when I would freeze them and fly 5 hours back to Cali LOL

    Did I see that right $1.85 for a chili dog. I don't know anywhere you can get a hot dog let alone a chili dog for under $2 bucks. Nice to see that you can go somewhere to get a decent meal for a good price.Thank you, Jordan.

    Ray Charles was also in the video and recording of "We Are The World." Paula Deen lives in The Savannah, Georgia area. That's probably why she stopped in. Thanks for the great video on Ray. Stay safe and take care.
