Thank you for this, Robyn; I missed all the pictures as I was stuck on my three-and-a-half hour commute home, but I heard it all on the radio.
A beautiful ceremony, an inspiring and stirring speech and just a wonderful day for the whole world.

That is how you play those instruments! I thought that was just a joy to watch and from the look on Yo-Yo's face, it was a joy to play as well. :)

Robyn, thanks for this. What a stunning piece! Thanks to John Williams, I believe. I heard this on the radio, but nothing like seeing the artists playing in person. If our esteemed maestro (Eric) sees this, perhaps it's a possibility for Tusc. Phil...Bodhan, Elaine, Jim, and a keyboard player!!!

A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree.

Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old.
