This week, the tap keeps flowing at Gunther’s Tap Room where Jack Kerouac is rambling stories about his days on the road, while realizing that a whole new generation has arrived that he doesn’t like the looks of. Soak up the oozing jazz, fiery bourbon and faint smell of cigar smoke in the melancholy conclusion of “Jack’s Last Call” by Sue Media Productions.
