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.

There's something to be said for recordings and broadcasts, too, of course. Half the country'd never hear music otherwise. But there's something special about a performance right in front of your face--never the same thing twice.

Have you had any luck finding performers?

Some. But if you have some recommendations, I wouldn't say no.

I wish I did. I've been missing live music since I got here.

Seems like there're enough musicians here to fix that, at least. It's never going to be home, of course, but it really couldn't hurt to have a little more of a nightlife around here.
