It started at 9pm central time here in St. Louis, meaning we caught the 1812 overture and just a few other songs before the fireworks kicked in. We were a bit more impressed with the New York Pops, since they played during the fireworks and had some great music (plus it was in High Definition, so it was a little more interesting to watch!). Don't know why they didn't show the whole concert, except that maybe ratings were down for past years (I know we quit watching for several years b/c we didn't like what the musical selections).

In its usual 8pm slot we got that awful National Symphony playing in front of the White House.Guess that was better than nothing, but just by a hair! And possibly the worst acts ( I won't call them musical acts)ever seen on TV. If this decision came from PBS, all the more disappointing as I just spent alot of time fighting the cut in their budget which was voted on last week. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/ireland1006%40sbcglobal.net _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
