In New York in the twenties, the Brill building and the surrounding area of 42nd Street was the place to go for budding writers of songs or lyrics. Here, the cacophony of honky-tonk pianos clattered out of open windows and won the area the nickname of Tin Pan Alley. Writers and publishers who were there at the time recall the excitement and the music of the era and its influence on the following decades. Producer Andrew Blackman
