Ray Charles Plaza - Albany, GA
Footage from Ray Charles Plaza in Albany, GA - home of the South Georgia Peanuts and birthplace of Ray Charles. Although the plaza wasn't constructed while the Peanuts were playing in 2007, we shot this extra footage during a trip to Albany in January 2008.The plaza consists of two statues of Ray Charles on the banks of the Flint River. The larger statue rotates - I beieve it rotates fully each hour. According to what I was told, the smaller statue is a representation for blind visitors to touch so they can get an understanding of what the larger statue looks like. The plaza steps contain musical notes and piano keys and Ray Charles songs play all day and night.
This is extra footage from Playing for Peanuts - a documentary TV series about minor league baseball.

VIEWPOINT - Ray Charles Plaza Should Honor Ray
April 2, 2008
Back on December 7th, hundreds of people celebrated the opening of Albany's newest attraction. A cross-section of the community turned out for the dedication of Ray Charles Plaza, a downtown gem that should make us all proud. In the months since then, the park honoring Albany's hometown music legend hasn't performed as planned. At best, it's been a disappointment. At worst, it's been an embarrassment. Finally, city leaders stepped up to turn things around.
