Song of America
The great American baritone Thomas Hampson kicked off the 2009 edition of his "Song of America" tour last week. From their concert in Winona, Minnesota, Thomas Hampson and pianist Craig Rutenberg perform "General William Booth Enters Into Heaven," an entertainingly melodramatic song about the man who founded the Salvation Army.
