Can a place inspire a song? For Dallas Hudgens, a childhood memory of visiting New York City’s St. Regis Hotel helped to bring an entire musical project to life -- with an assist from one of the 20th century’s most famous artists. “I was on the elevator with my mother, and Salvador Dalí was on the elevator too,” Hudgens recalled. “I didn’t know who he was, but I was fascinated by his mustache, his hair, his suit. After we got off the elevator, my mother told me he was a famous artist.”
