"The Music Man" Sounds and Lyrics
I hate to disappoint some of you,
but I've removed all of the lyrics and sound files,
because under the copyright law,
I really should not have posted them to begin with.
There are two easy ways to get all of the lyrics to the show.
First of all, you should buy
the new Broadway Revival CD,
which has all of the lyrics printed in the CD jacket.
You can also check with your local libraries.
Many libraries will have the full score for the show
in their music department.
If I can get some kind of official OK to print the lyrics
here,
I will gladly put them back up in full.
I will keep the extra lyrics to the show posted here
under the Misc. Info heading,
because as far as I know, they were only published
in Meredith Willson's "Music Man" memoir,
"But He Doesn't Know the Territory",
which went out of print many years ago.
The book seems to be very hard to come by these days,
(btw, please let me know if you have a copy you'd sell)
and I'd hate for people not to be able
to read those things for themselves.
And the copyright on that may have expired by now,
so I feel alright rationalizing it that way!
The same goes for the picture of Meredith
and his wife Rini, which was also from that book...
