Retiring Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., serenades Hill staffers, press and even a few senators with holiday songs on his piano in the Hart Senate Office Building atrium Wednesday evening.

Alexander is a classical pianist and overall accomplished musician who at one time played trombone, tuba and washboard at a Bourbon Street nightclub while clerking for a federal judge in New Orleans in the ’60s.
