Shoreline Community College
1987 (I'm guessing)
The concert choir had worked on a piece that was beautiful
We were slotted to perform for the visit of Jimmy Carter
I found it exciting
To be in choir (for the men) it was required that you wore a tuxedo
It was an expenditure I couldn't afford but that was the rule
I got fitted for one
My parents took care of it
As I approached the hall where we were to perform I was shocked to see the president standing outside the doorway shaking people's hands as they went in
He was there, smiling his smile, wearing a blue suit
When I shook his hand he leaned in and said,
"I feel like I'm under-dressed."
I laughed and said, "Mr. President, I think you're good."
