Back in the Gush days, I met a really cool guy from Chicago Ben Draiman – a great guy who does the best Louis Armstrong impersonation I have ever heard.1
Anyway, it turns out he’s brothers with David Draiman lead singer of the band Disturbed and was apparently referenced in this interview.
1. Two Louis Armstrong references in one week. Not bad…

In case anyone is wondering, Ben Draiman now lives in jerusalem. I believe he is a social worker and at last siting was still cool.
For those of you who know Gush, Ben sat on Rav Amital’s side of the Beit Midrash about midway, close to the inside aisle
Freaky!
Old news. I spoke to Ben about it once, now it is one of those stories one tells about the music industry.
David Draiman went to the same Chofetz Chaim that my son now goes to. Cool! Maybe my kid’ll pierce his chin and join a death metal band (or maybe just my band).
