I wanted to mention one other thing about our trip to Vegas. We went to the Liberace Museum. Does anyone remember Liberace? He was a piano player who was fairly popular back in the 50’s and 60’s. He was on TV a lot and even had his own show for awhile. He was on shows like “Ed Sullivan”. In a word, he was called “flamboyant”. He would always put a candleabra on the piano when he played. And he liked to dress up in outlandish costumes. They had 20 or 30 of his costumes at the museum. They said they weighted more than 100 pounds each. Think of Elton John when he was crazy and then crank it up another notch. Liberace also had a number of cars, among them several Roles Royce’s. There were 6 or 7 cars at the museum, too.
It was cool to see his old stuff. We spent an hour or so in the museum and looked at everything. Luckily, there were many places to sit down. Liberace died in 1987 of Aids. I still kind of miss him. He was great to see on TV. I wanted to buy some of his DVD’s, but funds were low and so we will wait and try to get something another time.
Just another report from the wonderful life of Jim Hoag…….
