Thanks to Nick for this photo: The Bush Country of Texas was a good state for her after the NA

We were all planning to give Jackie a standing ovation when she walked out on stage, to acknowledge her performance at the inauguration. I was pleased that so many other people also joined in on the standing ovation. It is a bit of an awkward time for a standing ovation, so I wondered if anyone else would join in. Plenty of people did, that I could see up front. It didn't delay when Jackie started singing. She probably needed to keep in time with the computer. After the first song, Jackie mentioned that she was just in Washington DC, singing at the inauguration. That drew an immediate & loud cheer from the crowd, and many of us stood up once again. So we gave her 2 standing ovations at the beginning, to make sure that she knew that we fully supported her in that. Getting a standing ovation after just simply making that statement really surprised Jackie, and I have no doubt that she was really moved by that. In regards to the songs, Music of the Night just seems to somehow keep getting better & better, every time she sings it. I loved getting to hear her sing "Fix You" again. I was there for its debut in St Charles in October. It really is a great song, and I love how Jackie sings it. It seems appropriate that she sang it on this day, the same day that the Shibutani siblings won their 2nd straight national championship in ice dancing (their 1st one was skated to "Fix You" by Coldplay and was spectacular). "Caruso" was totally new to me, in every way. I have never heard it before, so to me, it's a Jackie original, and I loved it! The medley was as great as that first time that I heard it in St Charles. Corrected my earlier setlist, accidently left out MOTN (I was very sleepy then) 1. Pure Imagination 2. Made to Dream 3. Memories 4. Music of the Night Marriage of Figaro (instrumental) 5. Fix You 6. The Impossible Dream (D'Oh moment, wrong introduction) 7. Wonderful World 8. Nessun Dorma 9. Caruso (amazing! and thanks to those here for the correct spelling) 10. Over the Rainbow Carmen (instrumental) 11. Medley: OMBC, Con Te Partiro, Think of Me, Somewhere, When you wish upon a star, The Prayer 12. Writings on the Wall 13. Safe & Sound 14. Lovers 15. The Lords Prayer (encore) And, this was the dress she wore at the inauguration. However, she was wearing the heavy coat over it.

Although I didn't get any photos inside the Cowan Center, before it got dark I was able to get these shots of the marquee outside. The concert was fabulous as usual! *********************DEEP IN THE <3 HEART OF TEXAS **********************

Wonderful. I completely melt every time I hear Jackie sing "The Prayer". There are some subtle differences in her singing it here which are oh so beautiful.

The 21st of February is Proud Feminist Day as I know. But I can be wrong. Sometimes we really need to know what is today or else we can forget many of our plans.
