I Needed That

   I was putting together a somewhat depressing post looking ahead to
   November. But then I heard yesterday's EIB podcast where Rush played
   two musical numbers from the White House ceremonies receiving the
   Pope.
   The U. S. Army Chorus sang "The Battle Hymm of the Republic" and I've
   never, ever heard better, even at podcast fidelity. As if that weren't
   enough, lyric soprano Kathleen Battle sang "The Lord's Prayer"
   accompanied by harp only. It was breathtaking. I'm assuming these will
   soon appear on YouTube if not already.
   I forgot all about that post. This is still one fine country and I'm
   ready for battle once again. I just needed these reminders.
