The Chukker: Media
Starting in 1980, live music was a key component of the Chukker's allure.
The Chukker archivists have glommed onto some video recordings. Should we create a YouTube playlist? We don't really know what to do with these video links.
Henri's Notions performing circa 1983, before the stage was built.

- The Progressions radio program aided and abetted the music at the Chukker. It was hosted and founded by George Hadjidakis in the late 1970s. In the '80s, he was joined by Jeremy Butler, Randy Williams, and Lang Thompson. Progressions recordings are now available for on-demand streaming.
