If Yo Yo Ma liked George W. Bush, maybe I'd like him then, too
I've been back to this story three different times. I don't know who Condoleezza Rice's publicist is, but this story was the absolute jackpot.

"But late that afternoon, Ms. Rice was back home in her comfortable apartment in the Watergate complex for one of her frequent sessions of chamber music with four friends, lawyers by profession and dedicated amateur string players.
Ms. Rice is an accomplished pianist. At 15 she performed Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor with the Denver Symphony Orchestra, her prize for winning a student competition. Until college she intended to pursue music professionally. Now 51, she plays as often as every other week with this group, which convened three years ago. Until now it was a realm of her very public life that she kept private."

Do you think they're playing the Imperial March from Star Wars, the Republican theme song?
I'm pretty sure from blowing up the photo in Photoshop that it's the Mexican Hat Dance.
Jackpot unless anyone points out that her political party is the political party that makes a habit of decrying the upscale lifestyles of, you know, the liberal elite, with their Volvos and lattes and classical music.
But yeah, otherwise, totally jackpot.
I wish that some of those damn Republicans would come check out the Boulder Philharmoinc. Next season they only have six concerts! I guess I maybe need to look into joining Colorado Springs....
not sure that the springs eliminates any sort of imperial march/republican dynastic agendas, but instead adds shades snake charming/christian soldier delight.
