But they showed glimpses of it on the news, and Washington Performing Arts Society’s Children of the Gospel Choir sang the song “Even Me”, an old hymn by William Bradbury and Elizabeth H. Codner that was re-arranged by Michael Reid and Patrick Lundy. You can hear a recording of it here. It was funny, because I was in the cafeteria as this came on the television, and every member of our gospel choir (Deliverance Mass Choir) that was there gravitated in disbelief to the television. And just like that, they cut it off in mid-verse.

I am desperately looking for a recording of the Inaugural Prayer Service, if anything, then, for this one song. Does anyone know where I can find it? If anyone at all tells me, I’ll be incredibly grateful.
