His varied career also includes service as an advocate for the Mentally Ill and Developmentally Disabled and as a teacher in Kenya and Cincinnati -- in subjects ranging from East African Geography to calculus. He is an avid musician (he plays guitars, alto sax, tenor sax, flute and alto flute). He plays in a cover band, "Beats Workin'" and has played publicly with a number of bona fide rock stars, including his friends Skunk Baxter (The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan) and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.

About a year ago I heard that he played a show in DC with Ian Anderson and they did some kind of Fluet Music. If hes anywhere near the talent as Ian, it must have rocked. I`ve seen Jethro Tull twice and they truly rock. Ian actually struck me as humble. As he was preparing to play some solo stuff on his acustic he commented that, "even after all these years, this is still the scariest seat in the house." He was playing to a packed house of 15,000 fans. Great show. If anyone ever has the chance they should see them. Rock on Tony Snow.

Tony's a good guy. I know he's doing this to influence policy- maybe he can. But I fear that at some point, he'll be used to put a conservative face on another Bush WH liberal move, and will balk, then quit.

I remember Tony talking about his house catching on fire several years ago.

Actually, I thought he had a good point. Tony has been more consistently conservative than GW, and he may end up in a situation where his conscience won't let him do the job.

Lee has good taste in guitars; Telecaster players are usually excellent musicians.

Or, he might give W some advice from a conservative point of view. W could use it from time to time.
