When Harvey Met Tom
A meeting of musical minds--bass player Harvey Brooks and guitarist Tom Kusin--who also happen to own the 17th Street Farmers Market led to the joint venture www.treasureshidden.com . Brooks' wife, Bonnie, added her online media skills to bring together the market's vast variety of ethnic food products with treasured flea market wares, cookbooks and musical items for an engaging e-commerce experience.
