    Michael-I don't have speakers at work. Could you give just a brief summary of the video. I will watch tonight at home. Thanks.

    This is a question to Michael or the High Sheriffs: Where did you get the recording of Air & Simple Gifts? They just recorded it a few days ago! I'm a composer myself and would like to share this with my students...thanks. (If you need to contact me offline, please do at hausorob@gmail.com)

    Not to be a killjoy, but I didn't feel the unity and one-ness that all the videos seem to be portraying. People were cold, crowded, tired, and grouchy. Sure, everyone cheered at the appropriate moments but Election Night was a much happier occasion.

    I haven't watched the other videos yet, but the one featured is to me excellent. Thanks.

    @ Lulu -

    Lulu, it sounds like you were at the inauguration? So was I, but I beg to differ with your "grouchy" assessment. Sure, people were cold, crowded, tired, but no one was grouchy. Everyone was extremely friendly and talkative with one another, to an even greater extent than election night (which i also attended in Grant Park). I don't consider myself a very outgoing/social person but I must have ended up talking just randomly to at least 30 people yesterday while waiting around, moving, buying merchandise or trying to get back to the train station.

    Very fun event, albeit horribly organized by the Inaugural Committee.

    No fair making me cry at work.
