I remember watching The Music Man when I was a kid and have even watched it a few times since. Interesting read about Meredith Willson. Nice tour of Mason City. I’d like to visit sometime.

Ahhh, Iowa. Where I grew up, and the corn never stops. In more than one sense. I do love that show, though. Thanks for the reminder. Maybe one day, we’ll have to stop at that museum. We used to pass Mason City often on the way to visit my parents, but never stopped in.

In reply to noel morata. It was definitely an educational visit. We had no idea he had such an extensive body of work.

What a fascinating tour and visiting the Music Man Museum with all its fascinating collections and other memorabilia. This is a fun music tour in a town I didn’t know much about. Thanks for sharing the tour.

Oh, what a blast from the past! I also love musicals, and The Music Man is such a classic. Who can resist singing along to “76 Trombones?” What a great opportunity to visit Meredith Wilson’s boyhood home.

In reply to Carol Colborn. The music that Mr. Willson created has certainly crossed many generations and cultures. We hope you get a chance to enjoy some of his delightful musicals, as well.

In reply to Jeff & Crystal. No, I don't remember maybe because I lived in the Philippines til I was 54. But the songs, Seventy Six Trombones, yes, Til There Was You, and It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
