A musical finale to the State of the State

PROVIDENCE -- Governor Carcieri's State of the State address last night wasn't all pomp and prepared remarks.

At the end, the governor and First Lady Sue Carcieri led the gathered General Assembly in a rousing rendition of "God Bless America."

You can watch the speech -- and hear them all sing -- by viewing a video clip of the event.

Or download an MP3 audio file, for sound alone.

If you just want to listen to the music -- fast forward on either file.

Wondering who has that booming male voice? It's Aaron Guckian, standing at Mrs. Carcieri's right, who works as an advance man for the governor.

Come back tomorrow to projo.com and The Providence Journal for more on the State of the State address and, this Sunday, read political columnist M. Charles Bakst's column.
