Music of the Month

Most of Bob Nolan's early songs were written for specific films and he often admitted that he was not proud of those compositions. Many of these songs he had originally written as poems. When time was short and demand for new songs high, he would take one of these poems and quickly create music for it. Bob thought of himself as a lyricist but many of the melodies he wrote were beautiful and memorable. We are in the process of expanding the information on each song. The Sons of the Pioneers and others have recorded many of Bob's songs and we include a few selections for comparison and your listening pleasure. We shall included background to the creation of the song, when we know it, plus an example of the sheet music.
