This episode is all about connections. The connections between an unexpected gift, a thousand-year old poem, a legendary jazz musician, a stolen illustration, the Grateful Dead, and how they all converged in the creation of a secret room at McMenamins Kennedy School. You'll hear the story behind it all, including descriptions from the artists on how it all came to fruition.
