Turn Off That Dad-Gum Music! We're Trying to Drink!

From the Buffalo, Wyoming, Bulletin: August 29, 1907

The Casper city council has ordered that there shall be no more music in the saloons in that town. The order, we are told, was made at the request of many people. It was argued that when they were having a social drink they could not drink and keep time with the music, and often times they would have to forego their beverage and dance to the sweet strains from the piano and violin, and they did not want it that way, and hence the order of the town council.
