Regarding Tic Toc. Excerpt from the music history tour pamphlet:
Originally known as Anns Tic Toc Lounge, this restaurant and nightclub was owned by Ann Howard. Miss Ann created a place where all were welcomed black, white, gay, and straight to enjoy the night life in what was one of Macons first openly gay bars. Little Richard Penniman often performed here beginning as a teenager and washed dishes in the kitchen when he needed the money. His music includes direct references to the scene at the time in the songs Long Tall Sally and Miss Ann.
