Something particularly elegant about that. Like one of those 1930s or '40s
big bands where the music could be whatever you liked, but you hadda play
it looking like you had some class! All they probably needed was the big
mirror ball going around on the ceiling, lit up by stage spots. "Welcome
to the Rainbow Room, ladies and gentlemen...."

I like the idea!
