Disaster of the Hindenburg by Shelley Tanaka
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tin Pan Alley was an area in the Flatiron District of Manhattan where some of America's most beloved songs were born. By some accounts, Tin Pan Alley got its name from the sound produced by several pianos playing different tunes at once, producing classics like God Bless America and Give My Regards to Broadway. This book looks at how Tin Pan Alley played into music publishing history, how song-pluggers sold sheet music and the Tin Pan Alley success stories, including Sam M. Lewis, Milton Ager, Ernest Ball, Irving Berlin and more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
