Thank you for your details and the film clip - what a riot - that is something to tuck away for your very old age story telling. "When great grandma sang for the President....." I have a smile from ear to ear just imagining the nerves involved. Well done.

It was a fantastic day! I'm so glad the weather stayed nice, so the garden party at Filoli could go forward (Californian's prayer: "Give us rain...just not today!"). It was the perfect place for it.

If this link works correctly, it should take you to a video of us singing for the president. You can't hear us at all well, unfortunately, due to the background noise, but he seemed to enjoy it!

Congratulations on your great day. But I wish the people chattering during the song would shut up. Don't they know that this was a once in a lifetime experience for President Higgins?

The ones nearby did get quiet, but where the person who shot the video was standing I think they were unaware that anything was going on (we weren't amplified, so only the president and those at the nearest tables could hear us)
