Bad form all round - The Liberace Museum is closing down.
Members are invited to post their thoughts and reminiscences. I almost wrote "their impressions" but honestly, no, don't try that.

Sad but if the number of visitors are so few it's not economically viable to keep open then I guess it's inevitable. At least the Foundation will keep going.
Not many people other than us 'golden oldies' will even know his name sadly.
anyway...he was a true showman and a 'one off'.

True only us old hammers will remember him, he was entertaining.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

Note that he doesn't hog all the credit either.
He was a credit to his country, America should be proud to have had him.

I mostly remember him for his beautiful piano playing, his smile, and his devotion to his mother.

I don't think I ever sat through an entire song of his. He just kinda fell into the same category as lawrence welk and hee haw - stuff other folks watched.
I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.
Folks who'd like to copy my intellectual work should expect to pay me for it.:-6

There weren't multitudes of TV channels to watch in the 'old days' so there weren't that many entertainment choices. I loved his piano playing and his showmanship.....he bought a lot of glitz and glamour to the small screen.

This is sad news! Last February, because of my sister-in-law having been a huge fan pof his, I had the good fortune to see this museum and hear a tribute to him, played on one of his gorgeous pianos, by the music director of Jersey Boys. The museum has many of his pianos, robes & suits that he wore for his shows, autos he owned. The visitors were allowed to be photographed in one of the robes which I did and if I can figure out how to post it here, I will.
