George Washington was a firm believer in the importance of religion for republican government. It's a little-known fact that he was also a pioneering musician. During his inauguration ceremony, he performed four bluegrass songs as gift to his closest fans to enjoy.
Washington restricted himself to church music in his later years, performing impressive shows involving elaborate pyrotechnics. One show resulted in a small fire in the pipe organ. The fire was quickly put out with buckets of water.
Church elders also became concerned about an indirect consequence of Washington's musical popularity: the waste of thousands of visiting fans could damage the church's Victorian sewage system.
By the end of the year, George Washington left the band and his group disbanded for 12 years. During that time, Washington traveled and focused on foreign politics. He is considered by some as the founder of the Communist movement in Bengal.
