Friday the 15th... our last day in Vegas.
One thing I'd always hoped to do at some time in my life was to
visit the Liberace Museum, so here was our opportunity.

along with Mum, Dad and Maggi, I'd had the privilege of experiencing
Liberace's genius live on stage. Shortly after that night, I received
one of my lifelong treasures... a hand written letter and signed photo
which, to this day, hang on the wall above my keyboard.
