Never going to forget my trip down Pennsylvania Ave. on January 20, 2005 with Arcadia. Keys on my baritone were frozen and my gloved hands weren't doing any better, and Bush decided to take his time with lunch making us stand around for hours in the freezing cold. But all the pain and frost bite was replaced by a swelling sense of pride when we crossed the reviewing stand in front of the President of the United States.
