Blackest. Black. History. Month. Ever.

(18,402 posts)We've watched almost every one of them, including this one broadcast last night. Such joyous affairs, all ... and a reminder how our common American musical heritage unites us all. And it's really been wonderful to see a president who so clearly enjoys music--all kinds of music. I only kind of wish there had been time to devote one to the American Songbook. (Or maybe there was, and I missed that one.)

I sure am going to miss our president - the best in my lifetime.
Thank you for posting, bigtree!
