[TPIN] A WONDERFUL musical experience

[John Kool]

I just ordered it based on Mike Vax's recommendation, as well.

I found it by going to Amazon.com and searching under music for "Making 
of West Side Story", but being the helpful guy I am,
Here it is in long form:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/102-2428027-8786529?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=Making+of+West+Side+Story&x=15&y=26

And in a tiny url with a "preview" to make sure you are not being led to 
a phishing site.
