We've watched almost every one of them, including this one broadcast last night. Such joyous affairs, all ... and a reminder how our common American musical heritage unites us all. And it's really been wonderful to see a president who so clearly enjoys music--all kinds of music. I only kind of wish there had been time to devote one to the American Songbook. (Or maybe there was, and I missed that one.)

of every last person in that room. That was amazing - of course, what else would it be? I guess you've got to be pretty special to be in that crowd.

I sure am going to miss our president - the best in my lifetime.

Thank you for posting, bigtree!
