Craig Chaquico has played the guitar in a lot of circumstances; he was just 20 when he joined Jefferson Starship. 

But Chaquico has never played with a choir, he says.  Until now... a concert on May 20th has him strapping on his guitar to accompany theJefferson State Choral Coalition

What do you know... another band named Jefferson?  Kirby and Markita Shaw are the brains behind the unique JSCC; they and their rented guitarist visit the studio.
