Writers having fun

[bookfan]

I was reading about James McBride, and learned that he is a very accomplished musician. He and other famous writers have a somewhat less-accomplished band called The Rock Bottom Remainders. They play a few gigs each year as a benefit for literacy efforts. They're playing Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston next month for the benefit of Haitian schools.
