Classical Music with Shawn Evans - Fri, 09/09/2011
As an offshot of a previous show about soldiers who composed, after 12:08 PM today I had a few people involved in politics and government who composed or performed. A few others I didn't get to include Founding Father and early American composer, Francis Hopkinson; avant-garde classical pianist and Republican candidate for the NY State Senate, Andrew Russo; classical pianist and Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice; and jazz enthusiast and mayor in California, Clint Eastwood, of whom I've heard is also invovled in movies.
