Posted on January 12, 2008

New Article on The Internet Writing Journal: "Songwriters Anonymous -- Part Six" by Mary Dawson.

Some of the best songwriters in history are almost totally anonymous. But these songwriters, who cared more about writing a hit song than recording one, had very interesting lives. In this sixth article in her ongoing series, Mary Dawson looks at composers of our favorite television theme songs. Mary takes a look at the names behind the melodies that have become part of our popular culture and the interesting stories behind the creation of the theme songs from The Andy Griffith Show and Cheers.
