Totally random observation of RNC Monday, I: Culled from notes, now that I’ve had a few hours sleep…The elevator/hydrolic “round music pit” next to the main stage became a focus of curiousity for me: I keep wondering how bizarre the next musical segment can be: starts with a broadway show tune medley (ironic choice of last tune: There’s No Business Like Show Business) and throughout the evening down-and-up pops country, pop, gospel and choral musicians. The house band is stationed near me and provides a steady stream of Mo-Town and “lite” jazz. They’re no Funk Brothers, but seem deep with solid session players.
