Piano Duet

When the family is all together at Christmastime, there are often impromptu performances of appropriate holiday music.  Suzi grabbed my iPhone and captured Tracy Rae and Maraliasson watching as Tara and Tanna entertained us with a lovely rendition of the Christmas Carol "Still, Still, Still". If you pay close attention you can see the occasional introduction of Suzi's left index finger into the scene.

Not really a big Christina Aguilera fan but being from Pennsylvania I was looking forward to watching one of Pittsburgh's own sing the National anthem to open the Superbowl.  Well, everyone knows she fumbled the lyrics and has been savaged in the press and on TV for it.  It must be difficult to stand in front of a hundred thousand people and sing our most patriotic song with the sound reverberating and echoing back to ya but hey, if you accept the invitation you better be up to the task.  Whitney Huston set the bar in 1991 when she opened the 25th Superbowl.  She chose a great arrangement, was backed by an orchestra and didn't try too many vocal gymnastics.  Will anyone ever be able to top this?
