Olympia jazz pianist Jack Perciful died last Thursday at the age of 82. He played (and was running mates) with the great and departed Red Kelly, bassist, one time OWL Party candidate for Governor of Washington State, and owner of Red Kelly's Bar in Tacoma (now closed). The two played together at Kelly’s Tumwater Conservatory of Music. Question for you old timers: Where was the Tumwater Conservatory of Music?

Is that at the present location

...the South Pacific @Capitol and Custer? I remember going there to see Red and Jack and occasionally Jan Stentz would sing there too. Who remembers what OWL stood for?
