In early 2008, the music community lost three significant community members, Chuck Day (blues musician), Alton Kelley (prominent poster artist) and Martin Fierro (saxophonist), accelerating the need to capture the histories of these unique cultural contributors. The Marin History Museum took up the charge to preserve this dynamic history while the key contributors were still alive to share their unique stories.
