Richard Rodgers eventually wrote a show all by himself. (No Strings)
Great tune is "Lots of Lovely Love" - uses the circle - nice for =
improvs.
Seems he couldn't get along with any lyricists at this point. He even =
fired Sondheim.
I've heard that he died unhappy - waiting for the next hit show. (PBS =
interview)
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Did he write any lyrics early on in his career? I don't know.
Cheers,
