Description:

Musician George Howard says he came to Lansing from New Jersey in 1959 to be the administrator at YMCA health club and bought a second hand saxophone in order to pursue his musical ambitions in the city. Howard says that Lansing is struggling, but that he can see improvement and hopes to see the music scene expanded by addition of more jazz venues. He also talks about the old jazz scene in Lansing, about the way Old Town used to be and how much it has been improved. Howard is interviewed by Rebecca Hector-Kruth and others.
