Ah yes, never thought of that. I know a number of bands played Hotel
Muehlebach over the years so I guess I forgot that it was also a hotel for
staying in.

Hi Scott,
The band may have been staying at the hotel.

I came across this article from the Kansas City Times, Kansas City, Missouri,
February 4, 1947:
I can find no reference that Dorsey with Sinatra ever played Hotel Muehlebach
in Kansas City. Here are the only two dates that are documented for Kansas
City when Sinatra was with Dorsey:
October 10, 1940 Pla-Mor Ballroom, Kansas City , Missouri
March 19, 1942 Pla-Mor Ballroom, Kansas City, Missouri
I wonder if the newspaper was thinking of Dorsey on one of these dates at the
Pla-Mor or if there’s an undocumented date at the Hotel Muehlebach yet to be
discovered.
