...wilderness not knowing such basic things as the name of the Capitol police chief. As a young legislator, he made his mark on the House floor after-hours, when it was almost empty except for the C-Span cameras. He was a grinning nobody, the head of a band of brothers called the Conservative Opportunity Society--he and Bob Walker and Connie Mack and then Congressman Trent Lott, and they didn't have a dollar and didn't know nobody and acted like a bunch of kids in a clubhouse with a small book of matches that they were going...
Brother Dirk Ziff, a musician who played guitar in Carly Simon's band and is active in the fund, also happened to be one of the largest--if not the largest--single contributors to the Democratic Party and President Clinton's re-election campaign in 1996.

We went down to L.A. and played at this club called Palomino, we opened for them, and that was the first band I remember seeing, other than us, that was playing swing. And even back then they were really into the look, and being more of a "purist" swing kind of sound. I think they're great, and their guitarist is the real virtuoso of the new swing scene. We've also done shows with Big Bad Voodoo...
