I was never more moved by a performance of the household band than the day after Sept 11 when they played "The Star Spangled Banner". I still have it on tape, a good friend was there that morning at Buckingham Palace to video it. He almost did not go because of how he was feeling after all the news from back home. I wrote a letter to the Queen a week or so later to thank her for the gesture. I did not expect to get a reply but about a month later I received a rather formal envelope in the mail from her Personal Secretary thanking me at the behest of Her Majesty, for the kind words. I had the letter and envelope shadowboxed, it sits over my desk on the wall.
