Backstage with the Lesbian and Gay Band Association
In just a few hours the Lesbian and Gay Band Association will be making history as the first gay band to be included in an inaugural parade. During the Clinton era the LGBA were invited to inaugural events, but never asked to take part in the march down Pennsylvania Ave. We are joined by Femi Oke who went to the band’s last dress rehearsal.
