David from Washington DC - January 21

Yesterday was history in the making...and we were lucky enough to be there to see it and to be part of it. We were not actually at the Mall to witness the ceremony in person, but watching it on TV, and knowing it was only a few blocks away, was certainly enough to feel like we were there. It was truly inspiring.
At the Inaugural Purple Ball, which was later that night, there was definitely a feeling of hope and anticipation in the air. Anticipation of change. From the actual leader of America, to the renewed hope of a beginning of a real unity of our nation. You could, feel it in the air. The American people are ready to unite and work together as one to create a brighter future and to put the disgraces of our past to rest.
It was very exciting to be present for such a momentous occasion and it was truly an honor for us to be invited to sing for an event that helps support a coming together of what has been, for so many decades, a fractured system. But as both the reds and the blues (republicans and democrats respectively) begin to put aside their differences and work together for the common good of all people, the resulting purple becomes a symbol of what all of us can achieve through cooperation.
I personally felt very proud to be there.
David
