I went there a long time ago and then stopped in Ted's Phono and Piano shop. There were a bunch of people hanging out and they were great. I wound up driving there just about every Saturday from South River just to sit around and have some beers and listen to old records.

The story goes that the guy who owned the Old Tyme Music Scene was loved by all. He married and then divorced. He passed, and the wife and her friend took over the business. They were known as "the witches" for everyone hated them and what they did to the owner. Apparently, the IRS made a visit and took them away in handcuffs while all the other business owners applauded.
