Speakeasy was also a center for art and music.

I remember one afternoon, percussionist Olli Klomp came in with a box (a hollow wooden box with a hole in it, designed to sit on and bang like a kick drum).

I believe Aaron Str8 (didgeridoo), Keeth Apgar (guitar), and PK (bass) played too. I played my Alto Sax.

This was one of the most musical improvisation sessions I have participated in, and it began my deep respect for Olli Klomp.
