Some experiences are just too rich to simply “tweet out.” I banged out this piece on crossing paths with former White House Counsel Don McGahn at the University of Notre Dame—both of us appear on the campus band compilation CD The Jericho Sessions. Washingtonian publishes some great writing, so I had to rise to the occasion.

[One correction—it’s not McGahn on lead vocals on “Hide Away,” but his buddy Glenn Fogarty—we didn’t have the CD liner notes to check that and no one I interviewed for the piece seem to know that. Only McGahn is pictured on the CD sleeve.]
