Subject: Lyr Add: LITTLE TIN BOX (Harnick/Bock) From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 13 Mar 08 - 06:51 PM In light of the current New York political catastrophe, I recall this song from the very first Broadway Musical I ever saw - "Fiorello." The play was done in the 1950's and was a commentary on the politics of the twenties, particularly related to the crusading Fiorello LaGuardia. It still resonates today. Others? LITTLE TIN BOX Words by Sheldon Harnick, music by Jerry Bock, ©1959.
