"NEW YORK (AP) -- At a downtown club, Tommy Ramone listened carefully to a band unlike any other. On drums: The U.S. ambassador to Russia. On lead guitar: The Hungarian ambassador to the United States.
"They're great!" declared Ramone, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The C.J.T.F. Band -- an insiders' reference to NATO Combined Joint Task Force -- also includes Assistant Secretary of State Lincoln Bloomfield Jr. on bass guitar and guitarist Dan Poneman, an old Washington hand and an authority on North Korea. At stage center was a defense and intelligence technology consultant, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, for years the guitarist of the Doobie Brothers."
