Music at the White House

December 29th, 2011 · 2 Comments

When I was 13, I played ‘cello in a city-wide youth orchestra in Washington, D.C.  I had forgotten about this performance at the White House until I rediscovered this program.  Simply to amuse myself, I slipped “played ‘cello at the White House” into a couple of bios.  So, if you happen across one of those, remember: it’s true.

    Hi, Kenny! It was even longer ago — LBJ was in office. I don’t remember if he was there, or anything at all about it, in fact.
