Au pays ou se fait la guerre - Duparc

Took me almost a year to get this song down.

FUN. FACT.

I’m from Reston, VA. I’m sort of an opera singer. Ok. Now.

I was doing some research on the history of Reston. It was the first planned community in America, it’s a great place, yada yada… all of this I knew.

What I didn’t know… Get this:

Reston was founded by Robert. E. Simon (R.E.S. To(w)n) and according to my great friend Wikipedia —

After graduating from Harvard University, Simon took over the family real estate management and development business. In 1961, with the proceeds from the sale of a family property, Carnegie Hall, Simon purchased 6,750 acres (27 km²) of land in Fairfax County, Virginia and hired Conklin + Rossant[2] to develop a master plan for the new town of Reston, Virginia, a planned community well known on the national level. Simon’s new town concept emphasized quality of life for the individual and provided a community where people could live, work, and play without driving long distances.

WHAAAAAT??! I live in the town that was paid for with money from the sale of Carnegie Hall???! This is a stage I will totally sing on, hopefully sooner than later.

What are the odds. Really. Super cool.
