1. Thanks for posting

He looks so cool and relaxed.

2. I Look Forward To Music Coming Back To The Whitehouse At Some Point

Yet another reason to hate trump.

3. President Carter had so many musical guests of all kinds

And he knew about them and loved them all! Thanks for the reminder!

5. You're right, both presidents attracted talented people

I'm especially familiar with President Carter since I have his autobiography (on audio - read by the author - and have listened to it in my car numerous times) and he talks about his musical interests and the talented performers of all types that he was able to host in the White House. When he was at Annapolis, he roomed with a classical pianist and they would listen to opera, he said when it came to the crescendos, fellow students would gather outside their door to listen as well!
