It was located on Forest Street, off of King Street, so you remembered the correct exit. Many people remember taking lessons there in the early 70s and was run by Col. Sommerby. I know it’s not much more than the info than you mentioned, but many people do remember their time there fondly.

I went there when I was 12 and 13 and only remember taking King St Franklin exit off of 495, so assume it was in Franklin. I still have the canvas gear bag with their logo so know that it did exist. I can find no info so far and no longer live in the area. I’m wondering what happened to it and its history.

I am a Franklin resident and would like to volunteer with this in mind; during school weekday hours if available. Thank you!

We need to include a continental breakfast, tables and chairs for a workshop and sit down lunch, podium and mic system and display tables.
How fitting a site for a teacher conference! Please, let me know if the museum is appropriate for our needs. Thank you.

We do not have internship programs per se, but if you are interested in volunteering, let me know.
Mary

I was wondering if you have any volunteer slots or internships available for the summer of 2016. I’m majoring in History and concentrating in the Civil War. I’d like to do some local research on the subject. James C. Johnston can give me an excellent reference. I’m passionate about history and music. If you’re interested I can send you a resumé.

sincerely,
Eric Nyberg.

p.s.: please tell Kai I say hi. He knows me from Guitar Center.
