Soul of the Century *Vinny St. Marten’s personal tribute to Ray Charles

featuring the Seeing Eye Dog Band Sunday November 26 at 2:00 p.m.Vinny St. Marten was born with glaucoma and totally lost his eyesight by the time he was eight years old. As a young boy, music quickly became his refuge. He was twelve years old when he first heard Ray Charles sing. He was immediately moved by Ray’s unique soul and spirit. But Vinny did not initially realize that Ray

was also blind. When he found out, it gave him renewed hope and encouragement, and Ray Charles became Vinny’s musical hero. Vinny and his musical partner, Elysa Sunshine, created “Soul of the Century” as his personal tribute to Ray Charles. With his natural stage presence and playful sense of humor, Vinny’s animated perfor-mances have wowed audiences both stateside and overseas.

Thank You! Among the many things we have to be thankful for this holiday season is the $13,000 in NYS funding secured for the Library by Hon. Assemblywoman Melissa “Missy” Miller (20th District), the donation of two portable defibrillator units from Hon. County Legislator Denise Ford, and the provision of reduced-fee CPR training arranged by Hon. Library Trustee Sam Pinto. On behalf of the Library Trustees, Administration, and Staff, here’s wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
