Dale Wood (William Lawrence Hansen)
Dale Wood was the pseudonym of American composer William Lawrence Hansen.[1][2][3] Under his pseudonym, he had a written a variety of songs with several notable composers and lyricists. Examples include Clay Boland, jazz musician Jack Lathrop, Murray Grand, and Michael Grace. As William Lawrence Hansen, his music experience was in the compilation and editing of music and text for television industry, Walt Disney Studios (namely for the 1951 release of the music for the 1942 film Bambi), and related industries. An exception was of having produced the University of Pennsylvania Songbook as Bill Hansen.[4] However, outside of documentation at the US Copyright Office and the Library of Congress for his compositions, little is known of him.
