In 1980, seven LGBTQ musicians got together in an apartment in Washington, D.C., to play through some books of college fight songs. The seven grew to dozens more and became D.C..’s Different Drummers, a familiar sight and sound at Pride Parades and other public gatherings in the D.C.-area LGBTQ community.
