With the help of his mother , a close friend and newly-made friends , Hilly gets his new club going.
The club , named 'CBGB' for 'county bluegrass blues' gets its first band which does not play any of those types of music.
Later Hilly thinks up the additional title of 'OMFUG' due to the 'different' music styles performed at the club.
