Music in the Golden Years, Vegas Style

Well, here I am in gaudy Las Vegas, surrounded by flashing lights and blinging slot machines. I really don't care for Las Vegas but there's a family wedding and I must make the best of it.
One thing I am enjoying is staying at the MGM Grand Hotel and seeing all the old photographs of movie stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Right beside my bed is a huge sultry photographe of a movie star and across from me is Clark Gable with some blond beauty. Of course music is brought to mind with all these photos but the walls are strangely silent, muted so everyone can hear the siren call of the slot machines. Too bad. I prefer Hollywood!
