Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The truth is that most amateur songwriters do not have a chance of being heard by anyone of importance. The primary factor that separates the rejected amateur songwriter from the accepted professional is that most amateurs do not regard the writing of songs as serious hard work. #2 The writer’s ultimate purpose is irrelevant because a good songwriter can do all of these things and even do them all at the same time. The writer should be able to write a song in any genre for any purpose. #3 Songwriting is the process of creating songs, and it is hard to define where idea and title are not virtually synonymous. For example, if you add the following sentence to the above example: I want to write a song about someone who goes through acute mood swings, you have an idea even though the song may not end up being called Problem Child. #4 There is a technique used by all great songwriters, and it is not a very difficult one to learn. It involves free-associating on a legal pad, and then pareting down lists of cross-referenced words or phrases that can be used in lyric lines.

This book applies the specific to explain the general. It takes one song, written in the mid 1930s, and uses it to address larger issues regarding popular music in the twentieth century. The song- "I Can't Get Started With You"-is discussed in considerable detail, but so is jazz and its connection with the musical theater, the early lives and collaborations of the song's creators, the nature of lyric writing, the structure of the popular song, the legacy of George Gershwin, the musicians who performed and recorded "I Can't Get Started" (its common title), and the later lives, independent musical contributions, and legacies of Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin.

Gary May's The Tunesmith brings to vivid life the sights and sounds . . . of M.K. Jerome, whose songs become a sort of time capsule for vital American musical and cultural history, from Tin Pan Alley to early Hollywood to World War II patriotic blockbusters. This is a beautifully researched and rendered story, not only about a moment in American music, but also a cherished relationship between a lifelong tunesmith and his grandson. - Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor, State, and author of Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America As an animation historian, I'm so pleased to have such a wonderful resource to one of Warner Bros. most prolific songwriters, whose work, by extension, appears and is immortalized in so many Warner cartoon shorts. So many Jerome tunes are burned into my brain, and the stories behind them are so wonderfully told. Gary May makes it as easy as "rolling off a log." - Jerry Beck, author of The Warner Brothers Cartoons (with Will Friedwald) and other works on American cartoon history I'm a sucker for stories of old-time show business, and this book has plenty of good ones. If you love Tin Pan Alley and Hollywood's Golden Age, you'll find a lot to enjoy in The Tunesmith. - Leonard Maltin, film critic and historian With its beautiful balance of well-informed historical research and absorbing narrative prose, The Tunesmith both enlightened and informed me. Bravo to May on this achievement. - Katherine Spring, associate professor of English and film studies, Wilfrid Laurier University, and author of Saying It With Songs: Popular Music and the Coming of Sound to Hollywood Cinema This is a story of the Great American Songbook and the Golden Age of Film, told through the discerning eyes of the grandson of M.K. Jerome, one of the forgotten greats. - Larry Tye, author of Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon Thoroughly exceeded my expectations. . . . It reads like a documentary. It's cinematic. I visualize stills and motion pictures on a screen, with narration. . . . The final chapter of [May's] life with his grandfather is a healthy mix of charming, amusing, and wistful. Loved it. - Alex Hassan, pianist and entertainer
