Back in the early nineties, the Byrds lost two of their original band members.

Gene Clark (tambourine and vocals) and Michael Clarke (drums) died in 1991 and 1993, respectively. Not a lot of people know this, but shortly after finishing his term as our 41st president, George H. W. Bush actually joined the Byrds during a special memorial concert held in Florida, near the home of the late drummer.

At the risk of seeming disrespectful, he KILLED IT. The former president managed to play drums, sing, and jangle a mean tambourine. Many were shocked when they heard the man play, but I was not surprised. After all, everyone knows that a Bush in the band is worth two in the Byrds.
