[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No going to compliment someone who sang for this President, sorry. I'm in the music world and appreciate most last-minute saves. [/quote]

OP. I am too. I wasn’t making a political comment with this post. It was simply noteworthy that in this giant moment, immediately following Trump’s rousing speech, she walked out, stood ready to perform after she and the military band were announced, and then…nothing. Silence. Her face looking expectant, then tense as the beginning of the backing track played for one second, then cut out, and then…she looked resolved. Sort of. She nervously told the crowd, “You know the words, help me out here.” And they did - the whole room, including President Biden, joined her.

I thought it was pretty remarkable.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I'm mostly aware of classical music performances. There's a video of a pianist who suddenly starts the wrong accompaniment, while the solo violinist who has just walked on stage has a couple of seconds of incredible tension to figure out which music the pianist is playing, *and then seamlessly launches into the concerto that the pianist mistakenly started*, instead of the concerto that they were supposed to play!!! Professional soloists play by memory. The average concerto has thousands of notes. He just dug up that concerto from his repertoire and played it, nearly perfectly, with only a few bars to jog his memory, in a really stressful situation.  AWESOME MOMENT on the part of violinist.
