anyone else catch "Stevie Wonder in Concert at the White House" last night . . .

[OneBlueSky]

on PBS? . . . what a breath of fresh air to have a president who appreciates great American music and honors someone like Stevie Wonder at the White House . . . Tony Bennett, india arie, Paul Simon and a bunch of other great artists took part in the tribute, after which Obama presented Stevie with the Gershwin Award from the Library of Congress . . .

PBS will probably be repeating the show, so check your listings if you missed it . . .

5. Yes, but was it just my tv or was the sound terrible.....

I could hardly hear them singing, was mostly was just the musical part of the song??? :shrug: needless to say, I didn't watch for very long......

[ellacott]

6. It was very low for me too

I turned the volume way up and got startled when I changed channels. :)

[alsame]

was a wonderful tribute, very classy.

11. I watched it twice last night. No sound issues and it was in HD...

it was really good. I found a new artist I like too, Esperanza Spalding. She was wonderful.

[ellacott]

13. She IS very good

I was introduced to her by Roland Martin. When he had his radio show in Chicago he played her music a lot in his bumpers. He mentioned how much he liked her.
