MusicMonday: Kennedy Center Honors Recap + Free Downloads!


Kennedy Center Honors Recap


On December 6, the 32nd annual Kennedy Center Honors paid tribute to five legends of the arts community -- including comic genius Mel Brooks and actor Robert DeNiro. The event, which was broadcast on CBS last Tuesday, also paid homage to three music greats -- jazz pianist/composer Dave Brubeck, opera singer Grace Bumbry and rock singer/composer Bruce Springsteen.
