Film that examines how the two women who owned and ran Lounge Ax in Chicago from 1987 - 2000 created a unique environment for musicians and patrons alike. At the same time they helped put Chicago on the music map.
Summary
A mid career change is never easy, but the move from sociology instructor to documentary filmmaker has been one of the most exciting adventures of my life. I never would have guessed how fulfilling and thrilling "making the sausage" could be!
