 Top-notch work on Willson Jan 30, 2006
By Valerie Austin
"Valerie A. Austin"
Bill Oates has done excellent work in examining the little understood years of Willson's career. As a fellow Willson scholar I especially appreciate the author's attention to detail and his ability to locate previously lost materials. While Willson is primarily remembered for "The Music Man," Oates presents outstanding research which places Willson at the forefront of musical growth in the 20th century, most notably in radio and very early films. Oates also corrects errors rife in many articles on Willson, and his meticulous approach to fact presents a more human character than the flashy and trite Willson portrayed in previous works. The reader is introduced to a talented Meredith Willson who is a solid musician and arranger, and an intrepid pioneer in new media. This is a worthy work and highly recommended!

 A Great Read May 08, 2008
By Harry Gleeson
"Harry H. Gleeson"
This most enjoyable book will greatly expand one's knowledge of this wonderful American composer whose overall musical contributions went far beyond the creation of his masterpiece, "The Music Man."

 The Rest of the Story Apr 16, 2012
By P. Q. Eschweiler
"A Herriotophile"
I had first read Meredith's two autobiographies, and found that Mr. Oates was able to fill in several gaps, especially about Meredith's first wife, who is never mentioned by Meredith. It is not nearly as well written as Meredith's books, and several typographical and grammatical errors called attention to this.

A great piece of work Nov 02, 2006
By JaLeen Bultman-Deardurff
Bill Oates brings to life a musician in American history that a lot of people never heard of. Meredith Willson performed with some of the greatest stars such as Jimmy Durante. Mr. Oates did an excellent job.
