paul 3852 Audio: The Commander in Chief, Sir Paul, and XRTs Terri Hemmert at the White House Terri called in this morning to give us the highlights of last night’s Gershwin Prize presentation in the East Room: [lastfm]Corrine Bailey Rae[/lastfm] singing “Blackbird,” a sly rendition of “Michelle” for the first lady, and oh yeah … a tour of the White House.

PBS will show the whole concert to the rest of us next month. Here’s video of President Obama’s remarks. If you look to the second row, to the right of the stage, you might catch a glimpse of our Beatles Fan in Chief.

And here’s Terri’s take on a night to remember:

Awesome, Terri. I forwarded this link to all my pals. I read Larry’s book “Ticket to Ride” a few years ago and enjoyed the original interviews on the included CD. I’m sure he was as thrilled as you to be at this event.
Greg Jordan

What a thrill! I’m one of Chris Good’s pals and he told me about your trip to the White House to chill with Paul. Congratulations. Wow.
Nancy

I watched the PBS special last night and didn’t know that you would be there. And then I saw you in the audience and thought. Wow, that looks like Terry Hemmert. And sure enough it was. It just makes sense that you were there!
