    Default Don sang at the Kennedy Center Honors tonight

    I found an article online tonight and it says Don sang at the Kennedy Center Honors tonight. He was honoring Billy Joel. He sang She's Got A Way. The special will be on tv on December 29th on CBS. I need to mark this down so I can remember to watch it.

    Here's the article.

    Thanks for finding that Shun! I was wondering if Don would be there for Billy to salute him, and it's very cool that he did! I wonder if Don spoke before singing, or just came out and did the song?

    Washington Post had a write up of the event, sorry I can't seem to get the link posted, and it seemed like a lively affair! It was Carlos Santana first, then the opera singer Martina Arroyo, Herbie Hancock, Shirley Maclaine and then Billy Joel. The show ended with Rufus Wainwright, Garth Brooks, Tony Bennett and Don singing Piano Man.
    Can't wait to see it now.

    Last year's show was a beaut... Led Zeppelin were honoured as was Buddy Guy.

    From what I've seen the musical performers don't talk, they just do their song.


    I woke up this morning with an attitude
    looked at the headline, put me in a real bad mood

    I saw the video clip of Heart singing Stairway to Heaven. It was beautiful. I think they had Jimmy Paige crying or was it Robert Plant. I forgot which one of them was crying. They did a great job with that song.

    I was trying to find pictures from last night. My local station did show a little clip from last night, but I was too late watching it.

    I finally found a picture of Don from the event. I think this picture is from the reception. In the photo gallery, Don's picture is no. 6.

    Thanks again, shun.

    It's a good picture of Don, but I only have one thing to say ... 'Smile Don, SMILE'!!!

    And not to take the attention away from Don, but I saw some other pictures and video of the event, and the First Lady's green gown was absolutely stunning!

    I was thinking the same thing, IABAD. Smile Don!!! He has such a beautiful smile. I hate he hides it.

    I loved her dress too.
