LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)

I did catch something about being declared a disaster area.

The President was telling the story of a kid who wrote Reagan asking for federal help cleaning his room, since his mom had declared it a disaster area.

This is the same arrangement our church orchestra used to play... beautiful, powerful arrangement.

Is this the group who sang this song at the Pentagon?

[guitfiddlist]

I recommend tuning on your stereo's on radio - the music is absolutely beautiful!

[Terriergal]

You'd think someone could have mic'd the choir better.

OMG. I loved the President's eulogy, it was wonderful qand now followed by the Battle Hymn. I should have more hankies

[Judith Anne]

The Battle Hymn--I'm sobbing here...

[Major_Risktaker]

oh my gosh... Prince Charles was sleeping..

Lady Diana noticed the same problem with Charles.

Charles will never be King.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

I love this Hymn...

[My2Cents]

A child's messy bedroom. Rewatch the speech. That was a wonderful story.

[CurlyBill]

The most touching part for me so far was the playing of "Hail to the Chief" for the final time as they were about to carry the casket into the Cathedral.

[Maigrey]

Someone trried calling during such. I let the answering machinne get it.

[wallcrawlr]

[Mr. Mojo]

Clinton's "solemnity" is feinged. ......just as sure as your self-rigteousness is real.

[eCrusader]

[Frapster]

Jet lag.

[Lil'freeper]

I do really like the piccolo part in there...

Me, too. This is marvelous.

[Fawnn]

And an absolutely beautiful arrangement of it ("The Battle Hymn of the Republic")!
