03/21/10 The German-American Heritage Foundation Museum of the USA officially opened Sunday and what better way to celebrate than with an oom-pah band on the street out front with a solo performance by one of those long horns from the Ricola commercial?

The museum is located across the street from the Verizon Center in Chinatown, the area of D.C. which was once home to much of the city’s German immigrant population.
