[or-roots] Johnny Ray

[Harguess, Dale]

This talk really brings back memories.  Johnny Ray had a hit song with
"The Little White Cloud that Cried" and at the time my brother was
recovering from a near fatal bout of Rheumatic Fever.  That was his
favorite song so my mom bought the record and he played it over and over
and over again until it actually wore out.  Boy was I glad.

Yes, and his stone in the Hopewell Cemetery is just a very nondescript
stone with only his name and dates. I guess the family probably did that
because they did not want it vandalized. If you go to the Polk County
Museum in Rickreall, they have quite a lot of information on Johnny Ray
and have had a couple of good programs on him as well.
