[tomkat]

Exactly !

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

The US Army band playing was another cause for tears!

I heard VP Pence say earlier today or yesterday, (not sure), say that there have been thousands of people contacting the Trump administration to volunteer for different things - including the fact that more people are volunteering for the Armed Forces now!!!!!!

Don’t you know the heroes of our Armed Services are excited to have a REAL commander in Chief now????

The Piano Guys!

[tomkat]

That is SO cool ! !

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

They were all together walking down the stairs at the Wreath Laying Ceremony but I don’t see VP Pence at this concert. Maybe I am missing him.

[Stars and Stripes Forever!!!]

STORY BEHIND THE SONG
The inspiration for “The Stars and Stripes Forever” came while Sousa was traveling home to the United States.

Sousa and his wife were enjoying a European vacation in 1896, when they saw a startling newspaper article. Sousa’s band manager, David Blakely, had died a few days earlier. Soon Sousa and his wife were on a ship heading home to New York. On the journey home, Sousa started hearing “the rhythmic beat of a band playing within my brain. It kept on ceaselessly, playing, playing, playing. Throughout the whole tense voyage, that imaginary band continued to unfold the same themes, echoing and re-echoing the most distinct melody.” When he got home he wrote down the music for what would become “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” Sousa said the song was about the feeling of coming home to America and how “in a foreign country the sight of the Stars and Stripes seems the most glorious in the world.”

The piano guys are really pretty amazing .

I missed Voight and Moore and hope I can find it on replay.

Greenwood was totally fantastic as always.

[jennychase]

Music is really good.

It MIGHT possibly be a security issue, and not wanting both of them at the same place at the same time, for an extended period....OR...perhaps the VEEP had something else he needed to attend to.
I am enjoying the heck out of this concert! I cant wait for Toby Keith, and hope he sings his “Boot in the ass” tune!
