Homewood Lounge
This was a north Minneapolis club that opened and closed within two weeks. Pianist Peter Nero had been signed to perform there in 1962, and as a result of the club’s closure he only got partial payment. Claiming he was owed $1,237, the Minneapolis Musicians Local 73 sought payment by ordering its members not to play at the Gay Nineties, which was owned by Richard Gold, a member of the board of directors of the company that hired Nero. The dispute was settled out of court for “less than $1,237.” (Tribune 12/10/63)
