As a child I attended a concert by Richard Dyer-Bennett that was the one where I learned how powerful live music is over recorded music. He sounds so good on his albums, but he was marvelous live. But the performance that I heard a few years ago that was so memorable and I'd love to find a copy of it was I think at one of the Kennedy Center Honor's concerts, and it was when Bill Clinton was in office and in the audience. Leontyne Price sang one of Clinton's favorite songs, "Amazing Grace," and I just stood transfixed, crying and with shivers running up and down my spine while she sang. And I remember the camera passing over the Clintons, with tears running down his face. Simply unforgettable.
