"I first discovered the Vault while looking for work for our band. We auditioned there in 1965 and landed a gig in 1966. The name of our Group was the Worldly Goods. The Vault's main Band was "The Floaters" consisting of Ron Pierce and friends. The Vault was originally a Bank in the 20's and later a speak easy during prohibition. It became another bank, then a newspaper, then a couple taverns. It laid dormant for many years until Ron found it in I think 1963-64, maybe earlier."
