We held one in the upstais of a bar, with the intent the bar would make money by selling drink & we had the place for free for about a year or two. We'd drop $2 per person every Wed nite & one trusted person held onto the cash until we found a guest singer we wanted. Worked fine until the bar decided that they weren't making enough to make it worth while, they were nice to have us have so long of a go at it too. It was called the Boston Traditional Singers Club
