Fair Play?
A Monday night battle of the bands at the National Press Club will pit Honky Tonk Confidential (featuring veteran CBS newsman Bob Schieffer) against Beats Workin’ (including White House Press Secretary Tony Snow).
Beats Workin’, says Snow, is bringing a ringer. Sitting in with the band will be Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (pictured above), former guitarist for Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers.
In fact, Baxter will be doing more than just sitting in. Snow says Beats Workin’ is working on arrangements giving Baxter plenty of room to show his stuff.
In addition to his musical career, Baxter has been a consultant on missile defense. Really.
The battle of the bands is a benefit event for the National Press Club’s Eric Friedheim National Journalism Library.
