[Athen] A New England trumpeter reports

[Dann Berkowitz]

No one can say that I do not know some interesting people. This one is too good not to share. Here is a BostonGlobe stoy about a local band that is doing an international gig in Baghdad .... yep you read that right .... in the heart of the Green Zone. 

The drummer for this band is a buddy of mine through the Fife and Drum Corps I belong to.  Here is the BLOG site:

The guy I know is the drummer -- referred to here as Saint James. Note the F&D Corps jacket he is wearin in some of the shots.
