So the Music Wouldn't Stop

Well, it's just like we said. Jerry [Parton] was closing the store. We, uh, he was having music on Friday nights. We did not want that to stop. So, like I said, a group of 18 of us got together, you know, we're all neighbors and friends. And we just rented the store to keep the music going. And we ponied up $250 each to rent the store for a year and to pay the light bill, you know, and the heating bill and stuff. And that's how it really got started. And like Ken was saying, we were under the umbrella of the Chatham Arts for a time until we got our own non-profit status.
