There are those who are always happy to blame New York
City for those who have misfortunes -- or who somehow seem changed --
or who at least have memories not shared by their friends back home -- after a visit to that great metropolis, and, as this song of more than a
century ago shows, it is not exactly a new phenomenon. Yup, New
York City CAN change your life.
We are happy to offer the original sheet music of Don't
Blame It All On Broadway for download as a PDF file. The download
includes the colorful original cover, and the price is $3.50. Charge
it to your credit card or PayPal account.

Thanks to the YouTube user called "MusicProjectX" we are
able to bring you The Peerless Quartette's rendition of Don't Blame It
All on Broadway.
Well, what do you think of this one? A little social history
embodied in song? Like it? Want to try it on your own piano
(or other period-appropriate musical instrument)?
Perhaps that old upright piano in your own front parlor? Then, by
all means, get the sheet
music!

By the way....
Since we mentioned Broadway
we would be remiss to mention that our intern, Eleanore Jenks, as well
as loving local history, is a huge fan of Broadway theatre -- you
might even call her a Broadway lover! She's also pretty
knowledgeable about the theatre in general, and she shares some of her
knowledge via her blog, which is entitled: "Broadway Lover:
Everything Broadway". If you have a few minutes, take a look at
her blog, which you can find at
Broadwaylover.org
-- we think you'll enjoy it! |
