It was indeed inspiring and encouraging to hear some of America's great classical musicians participating in such an important occasion. Being a musician and having played outside, I know how hard it is to play outside and sound good, especially in sub freezing temperatures, so it doesn't suprize me that we heard a recording at home, and it doesn't surprise me that they at least they  made an attempt to play live. They weren't exactallly Milly Mavnilly classical musicians.  But how about the Presidents Own. I have a feeling that they didn't have the luxury of playing to a recording. They definitely didn't have the luxury if playing one tune and going inside. If I remember right they stayed there all day in frezing weather, not to mention marching in the parade and in spite of the difficulities of playng outside sounded pretty good. How about some accolades for them.
