American Idol winner Taylor Hicks performs at 2008 A Capital Fourth,which offers an evening of patriotic and uplifting music,followed by a stunning display of fireworks over the Washington Monument.
Goodbye barbecue,hello Taylor
I guess I'll be glued to my TV
http://dc.about.com/od/specialevent...toFourth-3.htm Click on 4th of July,then A Capital Fourth then Taylor Hicks
It's too bad that going to DC on the Fourth is just about as crazy as going to see the Boston Pops on the Fourth.. then add heat and humidity. Good for Taylor.
Thanks for posting the direct link AH ! Wonder what he'll be singing ?
Margaux.....Hopefully I'll be watching from home,being in a crowd that size,in the heat is not for me either !
Here's a new press item on the July 4 deal:
