Aretha Franklin at the inauguration of Barak Obama … she sang “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and took a breath in the middle of many words and phrases! E.g., “coun[breath]try” and “fa[breath]thers” etc. I guess she’s earned the right to take liberties like that.
Hmmm. “Take liberties.” I guess that’s kind of metaphorical, isn’t it? Especially on this historic day.
p.s. How did the instrumentalists keep their hands warm enough to perform so well after sitting outside for more than half an hour?
