Why don't you go see it live.
If you're feeling charitable you could bring Krause as a guest. ;-)

My charity has it's limits. I've been downtown once for a 4 July
concert/fireworks. Never again. Didn't get home until after 3AM.

We were downtown at a wedding and then a reception where the place was
turned into a tango milonga. Love Latin music and dancing. Got home
late, but that’s because the wedding party didn’t actually end until 2
am, hours after the bride and groom left. :)

The trick with the fireworks, if you don't go by boat, is to just plan
to stay downtown a while.
I still remember when Carter was a lame duck and he would have a
monument show for just about any foreign visitor who would go "woo".

You could drive right up to the ellipse, park and watch the show. Then
drive away. Best kept secret in DC at the time.
My federal agent friend knew about it before time, she would call the
gang and we would go for the show.

I just blasted through the recording of the show. I liked Zak Brown,
Carrie Underwear is always the same but Bruce was playing name that
tune.
M&M and Metalica are just noise.
One speech was plenty.

My wife thought to much noise, turned on NcIs.

Yup.
This time of year we spend a bit too much time avoiding a cool damp climate watching the boob tube, especially at night.
Wife and I both have what the cable company call a POV cable recorder box on our TVs.
We record what we want for later viewing. The main reason for this is the insufferable commercials.
At one time they were somewhat regulated in frequency and duration but that seems to have eroded over the years.

I went by boat once. Took a 15' Boston Whaler up from Ft Belvoir. Nice
trip up, had a super time watching the fireworks and listening to the
National Symphony Orchestra on the boom-box. And then it was over.

The night was very dark. There were a *lot* of boats there. Many of
the boats were in the 30-35' range. Many of the captains were drunk.
Bringing that Whaler down the Potomac back to Ft Belvoir was the
scariest thing I've ever done. Luckily, I didn't have to stay in the
channel.

Never again.

I watched the show for a while. Wasn't too thrilled. Glad they did
something for Veterans' Day. It seemed like the show was tuned more to
the younger veterans, which is fine. Zak was my favorite also.

Don't know if it was my hearing or what, but even with hearing aids I
couldn't understand the words to the songs - especially Bruce. Oh
well.

Ditto with the Voice. Wife records it. I can't stand it.

What does 'POV' mean. My company, Cox, calls it a 'DVR' box for
Digital Video Recorder.

Just wondered.

Typically a network show is 22 minutes of content per half hour but
some cable shows are less than that. To compensate they will roll
credits at the end of the show in a box under the lead in for the next
show and the show itself may be time compressed some too.
They can also just run the show a little long. If you set the timer
for 1/2 hr, you may miss a minute or two.
I started time shifting back in the mid 70s with a Beta SL7200 and
never stopped. The DVR really makes it easy now.


I just mute commercials, don't even want to hear it. What ****es me off
now is they break the commercials with what looks like they are coming
back from commercial only to go straight back to another couple
commercials...
