You know what this place could use? A nightclub.

Don't get me wrong, I like Good Spirits a lot, but you can't exactly go there for dinner and dancing. The pizzeria seems like it has room for musicians, but pizza's not exactly ritzy. Sometimes you just want to go somewhere nice and hear a good band, you know? Putting a Tex Beneke record on just isn't the same.

It wouldn't even have to be dance music all the time, either. Just some piano music, like--oh, what's his name--Chopin plays would be nice. We probably don't have enough musicians here to make a full-sized band anyway.

I'm not asking for the Stork Club here--Lord knows I wouldn't get in if I was--but there oughta be something else to do here at night. For the most part, this place is great, but it's kind of a one-horse town when it comes to entertainment.

Nice to meet you, too. So if I called you up with a gig one of these days, would you be interested?

...Yeah, sure. I do mostly rock and blues, but I can fake it for jazz and stuff.

Nineteen fifty-three. [Which means she's a few months away from "rock 'n' roll" showing up in print. Have fun, Derek.]

...You'll love Elvis when he starts up.

[Or maybe not.]

Rock is what come country develops into later. It's noisy, fast, and catchy if you decide you like it. Well, most of it.

'Country'?

...You mean hillbilly music?

[Calling it something a little less pejorative should probably happen in about six years. So, uh. Yeah.]

Something like. Mixed with a few other styles as well.
