Aretha sang, the prayers were a plenty and the 44th President delivered a tough, and way realistic speech – more a call to action and unity as i heard it ! and Amen to that. Then with the endless energy the man and his lovely wife are steeped in, they danced their way through 10 Inaugural balls in DC to music by Beyonce, Jay-Z, Stevie, Alicia, Mariah, Shakira and and and plus an A-Z guest list you can only imagine. (check here for the best selection of the music at the Inauguration Ball)

and so here’s to many more ‘firsts’ of this Presidency – let the dancin’ continue and the action start happening !
