White House mantel commissions and visiting holiday musicians (COI disclosed)

[edit]

Hi. I'm Patrick Lamb, a smooth jazz saxophonist (COI disclosed — userspace draft).

I was one of the visiting musicians the Clinton White House Social Office brought in for the holiday Congressional VIP Tours during the 1996 and 1997 seasons — the same two years Christopher Radko designed the White House Green Room and Red Room mantels. The two are linked in my own recollection (the introduction came through Christopher), and The New York Times covered Radko's White House work extensively in Marian Burros's December 11, 1997 piece "Tree Trimming With: Christopher Radko; The Czar Of Christmas Present".

The 1996 visiting-musician list (which lists me by name) is preserved in the Clinton White House Archives Artists page. Posting in case any editor expanding the article's section on Radko's White House work finds the cross-reference useful. Updatepatrickfacts (talk) 04:39, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
