    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 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.

    Thanks for the heads up about this, shun. I sure hope I remember to watch this. I'm pretty bad at remembering this kind of stuff though. There are only a couple of TV shows that I watch regularly and Nashville is one of them. Yet, last week I got side-tracked and forgot to watch it. Thankfully, I was able to watch it online, but, it's still not as good as being able to watch it on my big TV screen.

    So cool - I can't wait to see this! I LOVE Billy Joel and to hear Don sing such a terrific song will be a real treat. I put it on the board calendar. Hopefully it will also be streamed.

    Thanks, shun!

    You're welcome everybody. I use to watch the Kennedy Center Honors every year. I'm looking forward to seeing Don on tv.

    I still haven't found any pictures from the show other than a few stills from the honorees cheering on the performers. They've been very tight lip of showing anything from the tv special.
