This might be the most unusual musical event this season. The FiveOne Experimental Orchestra performs their latest concert, "Gentle Darkness," in a mattress showroom, with subtle colored lighting and the audience reclining on mattresses. 51XO co-founder John Thompson talks with WCLV's Mark Satola about how this unique concept came about, and the importance of milk and cookies.
