Very Good in Wrappers. 9780874179996. 6 x 9. 8 b/w photographs. 272 pages. paperback. keywords: African American Literary Criticism Women. DESCRIPTION - 'The book is unique and it tells… a story that is vital to the history of Las Vegas and entertainment.' - Michael S. Green, author of Nevada: A History of the Silver State. 'Casino orchestras are a big piece of the Las Vegas story that has stayed hidden in the shadows of the stars - just as the band always did - until now. Lucky for us all, Played Out on the Strip brings into the spotlight the supporting players who gave a young city a rich new dimension and deep well of talent. Janis McKay has done them, and us, a real favor.' - Mike Weatherford,Las Vegas Review-Journal entertainment reporter and columnist. From 1940 to 1989, nearly every hotel on the Las Vegas Strip employed a full-time band or orchestra. After the late 1980s, when control of the casinos changed hands from independent owners to corporations, almost all of these musicians found themselves unemployed. Played Out on the Strip traces this major shift in the music industry through extensive interviews with former musicians. In 1989, these soon-to-be unemployed musicians went on strike. Janis McKay charts the factors behind this strike, which was precipitated by several corporate hotel owners moving to replace live musicians with synthesizers and taped music, a strategic decision made in order to save money. The results of this transitional period in Las Vegas history were both long-lasting and far-reaching for the entertainment industry. With its numerous oral history interviews and personal perspectives from the era, this book will appeal to readers interested in Las Vegas history, music history, and labor issues. inventory #42739.
