I am one of tho folks who does not watch TV but heard about it and I am happy that Pete got to do it. It says a handful that Obama had was at the Lincoln Memorial and that Pete and Toa and Bruce were playing their hearts out.
When I was I Pete's once I had a copy of Doris Goodwin's book, "Team of Rivals" that I happened to be reading at the time. Pete asked me to see it and he devoured a few pages.
Its funny, but sometimes I catch myself calling Toa ,Baby Toa from years ago.
