Last night I had the privilege of attending “In Performanc
Black History Month. Thank you to Dalton Delan, Executive VP & Chief Programming officer at WETA Washington, D.C. for inviting my husband and I to attend such a monumental event. It’s not often that I’m in the front row across from President Obama and the First Lady while being serenaded by B.B. King, Mick Jagger, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Keb Mo and many of the best blues musicians in the biz.
We enjoyed a few cocktails after the show, were handed B.B.King’s guitar pick, rubbed shoulders with an eclectic mix from all facets of life and were free to walk about that section of the White House…until it was evident, from the uniformed Marine trailing behind us, that it was time to go. I was pinching the little girl from NJ inside of me all night! Greg and I agreed that this was one of the best nights of our lives.
The special will be broadcast on Monday on PBS stations. Check it out and catch Mr. President singing the Blues!
Wow, what an awesome opportunity, congrats! Will look for the special on PBS. Way to rock a purple dress, btw 😉
Thanks Liz. You either do it in style or don’t do it at all, I figure! 🙂
What a great opportunity!! Congratulations! And, you looked beautiful!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!
Much thanks for the comment Kathy. It was quite fun!
That is amazing Angela!!!! I love the pics…you looked fabulous as usual 🙂
What an incredible memory you and your husband now share! Congratulations on all that you’ve accomplished that then lead up to being able to be a part of such a special night!
I’m not kidding when I tell people I want to be like you when I grown up! 🙂
It was tricky deciding between snapping my camera away or to just get lost in it all. I tried to find a happy middle ground somehow.
Thanks for the kind words Kia but who told you I’m all grown up now?
WOWZA!! Great photos and sounds like a great event! What an honor to sit accros from President Obama and the First Lady Can’t wait to see it Monday. Great dress, by the way!
