This New York Times article (which will appear in the Sunday Arts and Leisure section) features a photo of La Kid and the choir with Springsteen at the inauguration concert. Click on the picture to enlarge it, and see UD’s daughter – the blond with glasses.
Notice how she’s smilingly looking to one side?
“I’m grinning at the President.”
She spoke with UD earlier today. She was on her way to a rehearsal in front of a couple of thousand people.
“I think I’m going to be on the far right of the screen for the actual performance,” she said. “You shouldn’t have any trouble finding me, since I’m the only white person in the choir… Bruce Springsteen and his wife are very, very friendly. He thinks highly of our group, and chats with us a lot, and leads us really well in the singing… I’m trying to keep up with schoolwork… I’ve been reading Othello. But I’m tired when I get back from Tampa in the evening… “

I was wondering about everyone else in that choir being black, but when you said it was Washingtonians it all made sense. Though I thought I saw a second white person in the first inaugural pix.

There were other white people in the inauguration group, but I guess none went to Florida.
