A similar role was played by Melinda Hesbacher’s site, The Unofficial Capeman Website (), which is devoted to the 1998 musical again, while all the points made in the book about the songs in The Capeman are my own, the synopses and other information on Ms. Rich Kent’s The Simon and Garfunkel Homepage () usually proved to be the most efficient route to guitar tablature while I take responsibility for all of the observations about guitar technique in this book, the ready availability of these tablatures often expedited the process of initial orientation to a song’s key and so forth. Among several websites that contain helpful bits of information, two warrant particular mention. Specific thanks go to Sha Towers of the Crouch Fine Arts Library at Baylor for helping me to find several elusive sources, and to Ruthann McTyre and Ellen Jones of the University of Iowa Libraries for helping Towers on one crucial occasion. I also wish to acknowledge Baylor University, which provides equipment and materials for my work as a member of the faculty.
