User:Dave Schweisguth
Appearance
I mostly contribute to articles on Great American Songbook-era songwriters and their works. I own some reference works (Bloom's stage and film song references, Hischak's encyclopedias, songwriter biographies, lyrics compendiums, etc.) not available on line which can often provide information and citations for such articles. Articles to which I contributed substantially include Burton Lane (GA) (and List of songs composed by Burton Lane), Bart Howard, Harold Adamson and Yip Harburg; Ben Bagley and Painted Smiles Records; and Boontling.
I've adopted these typos:
- Bhudda (I'd have gone after "Buddah" as well, but a record company enshrined that misspelling.)
- Liza Minelli and Vincente Minelli
- Portrero
I edited some articles as User:Dschweisguth, then moved to this less-cryptic username.
