If, like me, you thought there was something a little off with the performance of John Williams’s Oscar-grabbing inauguration theme, you were right . What we heard was a recording made two days prior. Due to January 20′ “wicked cold” (Mr. Ma’s words), the inaugural planners decided to roll tape for “Air and Simple Gifts” with the intent of avoiding frozen fingers or rapid de-tunings causing a John-Roberts-scale fuckup on the world stage.
