Professor Harold Hill from the broadway musical, The Music Man, sold people on the idea that music would save their city. But Harold Hill was a fraud. Meet the real Music Man, Shain Shapiro of Sound Diplomacy, who swears music will improve your city's bottom line and its image as an attractive place to live. What he helped accomplish in Huntsville, Alabama and other cities across the globe could prove to be a template for Mesa's musical future. Interviewees include Shain Shapiro of Sound Diplomacy, Huntsville's Music Officer, Matt Mandrella, Arizona's Unofficial Music Historian, John Dixon, Kathy Norris-Wilhelm of Canyon Records, and Mesa's Manager of Downtown Transformation, Jeff McVay.
