Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
The Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society has been a non-profit music presenter at the Douglas Beach House since 1964.
What is your primary product or service?
Live Sunday afternoon music concerts.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I inherited this job from my father, Pete Douglas. Pete was a beatnik from the 50's who grew up in the LA area, and hung out at the legendary jazz club in Hermosa Beach, The Lighthouse, where he formed his love of Jazz. He moved to Half Moon Bay in the late 1950's into a small beer joint called the Ebb Tide Café. From there he kept building on eventually building the concert room which is a beautiful cedar-walled venue overlooking the ocean.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We provide a concert style experience in an intimate (200 seats) setting right on the ocean. The musicans who play at the Bach love the venue and our patrons even more so because we combine world class music with a beautiful environment.

Only one location; no plans to expand.
