	The Music Man - buy cheap now Genres
		Great music with some terrific ensemble numbers such as "Iowa Stubborn", "Pick a Little Talk a Little", "Wells Fargo Wagon" and of course, "76 Trombones" make for a joyful musical experience.
		From the opening piece with the travelling salesman singing in tune with the hissing and puffing steam train...the charming numbers flow from this wonderful cast...including the memorable "Marian the Librarian", "Iowa Stubborn", "Ya got trouble", Goodnight my Someone"...and of course the signature tune "76 Trombones".
		This was the role that Robert Preston was born to play...the smooth talking, quick thinking shyster Professor Harold Hill...only one step ahead of duped towns folk and the long arm of the law.

	Amazon.ca: Video: Music Man, the
		The choreography dares to be different from the original and I especially love what has been done with 76 Trombones.
		Director Jeff Bleckner has a maddening tendency to cut away from the crucial moment of a scene, but the atmosphere of small-town Iowa is ably created.
		The original film is slightly stagey with it's direction (something I actually find endearing), but this one really allows us to explore River City, Iowa and meet it's residents.

	Meredith Willson
		Yes, this is that Meredith Willson (1902-1984), composer of The Music Man ("76 Trombones") and The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
		It is contrasted with a "chant" in the low brass in which Willson quotes a traditional hymn handed down from Ramon Yorba, the last of the Indian chanters from the mission.
		Willson become more involved in his radio work and never wrote another symphony (as far as I can tell).

	The Music Man
		He was talking about how "76 Trombones" would be performed by the entire company kind of a cappella because they were thinking about the music, that the band was in their heads the first time that we perform it.
		The show captivates from the opening curtain number, in which the music and lyrics are synchronized precisely with the bouncing and lurching of a steaming train.
		The 15-year Trinity veteran has also performed in musicals on Cape Cod at the Barnstable Summer Family Theatre, which is run by his brother, John.

	Loney's Show Notes
		If you have been thrilled by the almost-76-trombones finale of The Music Man, you will certainly savor Blast.
		This show is not exactly The Laramie Project set to music, but—aside from its more bizarre elements and plot-developments—its subtextual plea is for Community Understanding of the Other: the person who doesn't look and act like his neighbors.
		Stoppard also shows Housman and Wilde in the social, political, and cultural context of their time, with some deft, quick scenes involving the likes of Frank Harris, Henry Labouchère, and Jerome K. Jerome.

	Famous Non-Masons
		Meridith Wilson whose '76 Trombones' was one of my 'signature songs' as a budding high school musician (there was also 'Sentimental Journey' and 'Canadian Sunset', both great for romance, but I digress!) has been regularly identified on the web as being a Mason.
		Despite his being a native of Mason City, Iowa and his widow having been very active in a Foundation in his honor (headed by a Mason and the ex-Mayor of the city), there's no indication there that he was a member of the Craft.
		Regrettably, our inquiries to the Webmasters of the sites where he is listed have failed to produce any evidence of investigation into their listing.

	The New York Early Music Celebration - New York Times Reviews
		Today, the word "trombone" conjures up images of 76 blaring instruments, but on Friday night, under the Tiffany windows of St. Michael's Church, the Spiritus Collective balanced three trombones against four human voices on the fulcrum of a continuo for theorbo and keyboard, and achieved harmonious, delightful equilibrium.
		The piece was "Verleih uns Friede," a vocal cantata by Andreas Hammerschmidt, a 17th-century follower of Heinrich Schtz and the main focus of a program that offered a perfect blend of brass, strings and voices.
		A trombone by any other name is a sackbut, a smaller and lighter ancestor of the modern instrument, and Spiritus had four of them, along with two Baroque trumpets, long and slender as the instruments of angels.

	LAVOE, Héctor : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music
		In '74 Lavoe took over the band and continued to perform old hits; Colón producing many of his albums including his first solo LP La Voz '75, the band expanded to include two trumpets and two trombones (Colón had used only the 'bones).
		Lavoe received Latin NY magazine awards for 'Best Male Vocalist' and 'Best Conjunto' (Group) '76; he had became the salsa singer, star of countless TV spots and Caribbean shows.
		In his obituary on Lavoe, Colón wrote sadly that he had been consistently betrayed by his shady drug-dealing 'friends', by the business world, by promoters and impersonators and by the Latino legal community, and finally, 'I too betrayed Héctor by not having the courage to face him in his condition.'

	The Music Man (1962 Film Soundtrack) by Meredith Willson, Robert Preston, Shirley Jones on CD
		For instance, there is extensive dance music in the "76 Trombones", "Marian the Librarian", and the "Shipoopi" numbers that could have been included on the CD, and wasn't.
		And although I do admire Shirley Jones, and she was a beautiful Marian, Barbara Cook was more believeable in the look of a small-town spinster librarian, and her voice is one of the greatest that the musical world has ever heard.
		Shirley Jones' singing is pleasant, Barbara Cook's singing is thrilling.
