The Funks and President Bush June 24, 2003 The Funks are invited to the White House We will be guests for recognition... We couldn't pass security regarding our instruments... I guess they think our instruments could be used as weapons... I'm not sure what they expect of us... I'll let you know, when I get home.... Report from Joe. . . . They're going mad with Security... The Funks were checked several times... We went through metal detectors, and checked again... It was "Black History Month"... A tribute to Duke Ellington... I was delighted to be there... When I was introduced to the President, I said "Hello Mr. President"... He said nothing... He looked startled... I guess he expected to see an all black group... I like to say, "No one wrote a script for him to respond to hello." During the performance I sat behind Mr and Mrs Bush, and Condoleezza Rice... The White House is a beautiful building... Now I know where our tax dollars are going.
