Paperback. Zustand: Good. And There I Stood with My Piccolo, originally published in 1948, is a zesty and colorful memoir of composer Meredith Willson?s early years-from growing up in Mason City, Iowa, to playing the flute with John Philip Sousa?s band and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, to a successful career in composing for radio and motion pictures in Hollywood. It was apparent to everyone, except maybe Willson himself, that he was on his way to something big.Lighthearted and inspiring, it is no surprise Willson?s tales caught the attention of prominent Broadway producers. In 1957, just nine years after the publication of this book, The Music Man became a Broadway sensation, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Meredith Willson?s musical comedy is to this day arguably the most produced and beloved musical in American culture.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Back in print: the playful and personal memoir of Meredith Willson?s creative tribulations and triumphs before The Music Man Composer, musical director, writer, lecturer, and piccoloist Meredith Willson laid many eggs throughout his career?but not all those eggs would hatch quite so gloriously as his Broadway hit The Music Man. In Eggs I Have Laid, Willson genially chronicles the failures that he faced as he made his place in show business during the pivotal early 1950s, when radio was being overtaken by television. From Hollywood to New York, London, and Paris, and back to his hometown of Mason City, Iowa, Willson sets each scene vividly, bringing to life his encounters with zeitgeist stars, from collaborators Tallulah Bankhead and Fred Allen to Orson Welles and Carmen Miranda. His signature wit excels as he relates his tales of eggs dropped, notable among them the lavishly produced variety program The Big Show, his ill-fated attempt to be a radio bulwark against the encroaching tide of television. First published in 1955, Eggs I Have Laid features delightful curiosities, like an eight-page ?platonic dialogue? about quitting smoking and the lyrics to a love song with the occupancy limits of the New York Fire Code as its central metaphor. It is at once a vivid chronicle and a trove of insight from the hilarious, perseverant mind of Meredith Willson.…
