 Abbatiello thought that this unusual practice of talking over the music, getting the crowd involved, was very good for business as it engaged the people who were sitting at the bar and were not dancing.Abbatiello asked Godfrey, who performed as "Sweet G", to recommend artists of this type for the club, and Godfrey took him to see Grandmaster Flash perform in the local park along with two other artists; the group called themselves "Grandmaster Flash & the 3 MCs", the predecessor of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.Abbatiello asked for and received permission from his father to book musical artists on Tuesday nights.
