 | The Rise of the Biggest Little City by Dwayne Kling, Rollan Melton
The history of Reno during the first half-century after the establishment of legal gambling in Nevada was to a great degree the history of Reno's gaming industry. Between 1931 and 1981, the economy, skyline, and life style of the Biggest Little City in the World were strongly influenced by the city's casinos and the people who created and operated them. In The Rise of the Biggest Little City, longtime Reno gaming executive Dwayne Kling records the fruits of his fourteen years of research into the history of Reno's casinos, from the backroom (and often illegal) dives of the industry's beginnings to the elegant casino-hotels of today. Arranged in encyclopedic form, lavishly illustrated with historic photographs (many never before published), the book offers the stories of such famous and enduring establishments as the Cal-Neva and the Sands, as well as defunct clubs like the Silver Spur and the Bank Club. We also find the stories of the men and women who created Reno's gaming industry -- such as James McKay, Bill Graham, the Smith family, Bill Bailey, William Harrah, and Jack Douglass. There are more -- many more. We learn from Kling's engaging and informative text that Reno was the true pioneer of the gambling industry -- it was that big-name entertainment was first offered in a casino setting; that elegant hotel rooms and fine dining were first offered as amenities of the casino experience; that ethnic minorities first owned and operated casinos, and first integrated them. The Rise of the Biggest Little City will intrigue readers with its authoritative account of the rise of modern Reno and of the colorful history that lies beneath today's neon and glitz.

 | David Cohen, Teaches Blues Piano by Hal Leonard Publishing Staff
Sit down at the piano and start to boogie! This easy play-along course will have you rockin' and rollin' in no time -- even if you've never played blues piano before. David Cohen (The Blues Project, Country Joe and the Fish, etc.) starts you at the beginning, quickly getting you into the elementary theory needed to understand chord progressions and the 12-bar blues form. Then it's fight into setting up a solid left-hand rhythm in the bass to create a bedrock for the right hand improvisations to come. By the time this lesson ends, you'll be jamming the blues, plus you'll have a solid foundation on which to build. AUTHOR: Hal Leonard Publishing Staff
