The White House went a little bit country this week with a visit from Brad Paisley, Alison Krauss and Charley Pride. The songsters held a workshop for middle and high school students during the day, and performed for President Obama in the evening. NPR White House Correspondent Don Gonyea was there humming along; he reports on the shindig for this morning's show and sent along some pictures.
