<strong>A Brief History</strong>
The First Act owes its existence to one Larry Wooddell and his love for black squirrels. The story is as follows:

Larry Wooddell was the superintendent of grounds at Kent State University in the early 1960's. A large school covering more than 500 acres across the lush rolling meadows of the Cuyahoga River Valley in Northeast Ohio, the campus offered many opportunities to lose oneself amongst its great oaks, conifers, and hallowed halls... perhaps too many. Wooddell became lonely. Tiresome days of mowing and trimming lead to lonesome nights of regret and longing. Wooddell knew there was something out there to cure his loneliness. The Encyclopedia Britannica would be his tool. <a href="http://www.listentorecords.org/theFirstAct" target="_blank">Continue »</a>]]></description>
