Saw only a small portion and was very pleasantly surprise to see and hear them play. And learning they played a tape made perfect sense. What ruined it was the view behind them - the chain link fence and Gibbs. Susan –

Agree, it was the most beautiful moments of the entire inauguration day. Saw only a small portion and was very pleasantly surprise to see and hear them play. And learning they played a tape made perfect sense. What ruined it was the view behind them – the chain link fence and Gibbs.

I loved Aretha's hat. At the very least the cold weather spared us a view of her humongous chi chis.

I looked for them. Space heaters would have warmed their feet and the bottom of Yo-Yo's cello. Oh it has nothing to do with space heaters. I looked for them.

Once I read about this pre-recording it made sense to me. As I watched and listened to them play on Tuesday I marveled at how skilled they were playing in those weather conditions. I couldn't imagine how their fingers and their instruments could play through that cold temperature! I thought the piece was beyond beautiful and very signature John Williams.

That's truly too bad. She's one of the greats. Perhaps she should have done a taped one too.

It doesn't really matter if it was recorded because although I'm no expert in the field, it did strike me that it would be difficult if not impossible to play in that weather. They faked it real good... I also agree that Aretha was mediocre -- perhaps someone with an operatic type voice would have projected better in this venue.

I didn't watch any of this, but I hear she didn't sound that great. She's one of my favs. No, Aretha actually sung, but music and background singers were pre-recorded.
