Ainsworth owns 52 Canterbury St - where
Richard Oland's office was located on the 2nd-floor. He also owns the printing shop downstairs, Printing Plus. Veniot shows him a photo of the building. Asks if he recognizes it. "Ya, I've been there a few times," he replies.

They didn't always do it "much to my chagrin," he says. Ainsworth says he had an agreement with
Richard Oland that bands could practise during work week after 6:30 p.m. "He was amenable," says Ainsworth. "Not much sound barrier" between 2nd and 3rd floors, he says.
