Things got started with the “Lounge Act,” a group of regulars who perform popular covers with uke, bass, and various instruments to warm up the house prior to the official starting time. A member of this group was Peter Thomas, the kind soul who put me up for the nights I was in town.

Soon we were treated to a uke-driven serenade of “Under the Boardwalk” (the official theme song of the club), presented by five cutie-pie fourth grade girls. They were great!!!
