[Brody: And would you say most of the, I mean now there's a lot of bigger groups that come, would you say a lot of them are local or--?] All of them. One of my goals, one of my priorities is to book local. 'Cause there's so much, in terms of 'passing the hat,' it's-it's so weather-dependent. I mean last year, the weather was really bad and we had to move inside and as you can see, there's not a lot of room inside. And if they're local they have more of a following. You're not going--if I book someone that's just coming through town that nobody's heard of, it's not going to bring in a crowd. [Brody: And would you say that the music scene in Chatham County in general is pretty--like how would you describe the music scene here?] I think it's huge. You have City Tap that does stuff constantly, um, Mosaic is now getting into it. Is it Red--Red Moose Brewing? They do stuff. And it's not, it's not Chatham County, but Southern Village has music every Saturday night I believe up on their lawn. I'm trying to remember who else 'cause I look at these places of people, of who's booking to see if there's anybody, 'hey, let's try and get them here.' And I'm sure they do the same for us. So I think, I think it's a pretty vibrant scene.
