Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith is in Washington, D.C. this week to lobby Congress not to cut funding for music programs in schools. Smith and jazz guitarist (and former New York Yankees star) Bernie Williams will be meeting with members of Congress as part of the National Association of Music Merchants delegation. Smith will also back a West Virginia middle school jazz band at a ceremony honoring U.S. Senators Jay Rockefeller the Fourth and Joe Manchin the Third for their contributions to the state's education programs.
