Percy Granger graduated from Norman High School in Norman, Oklahoma, in
1963. He played the lead of Harold Hill in "The Music Man" at Norman
High, which became a well-remembered performance over the years. His
father, Dr. Bruce Granger, was a longtime professor of English at the
University of Oklahoma. His brother, Adam Granger, has written about,
taught and played fiddle tunes in the flatpick style for more than 25
years in Minneapolis, Minn. He is a veteran member of the house band
for the Prairie Home Companion and has recorded six albums. Percy
Granger's untimely death in 1997 cut short an extremely promising
career as a playwright in New York City.
