Yep. It’s not too often that we up here in the North Valley are treated to a performer who genuinely qualifies as a living legend, but this Friday opportunity knocks. Ray Charles and his forty-piece orchestra appear at Gold Country Casino, 4020 Olive Highway, Oroville. Doubtless, he’ll be singing all his hits and inviting all to have a swinging good time. Tickets: $50, preferred seating; $60, VIP seating. Show information: (800) 334-9400.
