What the performers have to say about us:
"What
a cool place to have in your community....I am humbled before the
wisdom in this room." - David Wilcox
"Thanks to the bookstore for being so nice. It's a great place to hear music!" - Kim Richey
"I
have been looking around this bookstore at all the incredible books and
was inspired to do a great song. It is very nice to be in such a cool
place. I love used bookstores but must say this is the first time I
have done a gig where they tell me they sell my father's books!" - Lucy
Kaplansky (daughter of famed mathematician
Irving Kaplansky)
"This place is awesome. These people are so nice there has to be something wrong!" - Antje Duvekot
