Mike Huckabee, the former governor and Republican presidential candidate, is scheduled to take part in a May 22 fundraiser for a group trying to raise money for music programs through the sale of a special license plate.
Huckabee once played in a band called Capitol Offense. This time he is slated to jam with drummer Alan White , best known for his work with Yes, plus Bob and Shelley Tomberg of Shelley and the Curves.
Music Aid Northwest is behind the program of selling license plates to boost music education and organizers of the concert.
This is not a political group. They're all about the music.

Wow, a two-fer ping - Washington state AND rock & roll!
Back in the Seventies, I remember when “Yes” came to Little Rock to play a concert, but the police demanded that all of the lights in the coliseum had to remain on during the show, so the band refused to play. I wonder if Huckabee was there for that?
Yes had the loudest concert I ever attended. My ears were ringing for an hour after the concert.
What do you call a guy that hangs around musicians?
