I missed it, but one of the cable channels broadcast a 'Ray Charles Live at Montreux 1997' special tonight.

I don't think they play American football in either Riddes or Isérables.

More likely real football.

American football IS real football.

BTW, where is Riddes and Iserables?

Exactly Hans, not only was a classic Jazz piece replaced by a football match, the match was between a fairly insignificant town and an insignificant village high in the Valaisain Alps.

That was the ultimate insult ...
