I just caught the tail end of the live-stream of the PBS taping of the blues concert that was filmed at the White House tonight in honor of Black History Month.
President Obama sang a few lines of a song with B.B. King and all the musicians that were there.
The concert "Red, White, and Blues" is scheduled to air on PBS Monday Feburay 27 at 9 p.m. ET.
Here's a list of all the performers: http://www.pbs.org/inperformanceatthewhitehouse/performers.php
Mick Jagger was there
