    I watched this last night, as I do every year, but tuned in a half-hour late. I waited for it to re-air so I could see the beginning, but as soon as it started, we got a storm here & my electric went out for over 2 hours!🙄 So glad it's on UA-cam so I could finally see what I missed. Loved Smokey, as always & "Rhapsody in Blue" was exquisite. DC must have had an overabundance of red fireworks this year!
