It IS kind of cool to perform at the White House, a "brush with 
greatness" of sorts. I have several photos of me there, on the lawn and 
on the steps. I guess I should put it on my list of places that I tell 
people I've performed at, as I'm sure it does carry some street cred. I 
never got paid for any of the gigs at the White House, but I did meet a 
lot of celebrities (great and small) at those gigs. I did, however, get 
paid for the other gigs in front of Presidents and Vice Presidents, 
except for one or two which were publicity events.
