At some point around 2008, I became a bit obsessed with the idea of how many anagrams I could make from “Stairway to Heaven.” Many were made by playing with Scrabble letter blocks. Ethan Meixsell also came up with quite a few - he was teaching from my studio at the time. At some point I lost an "A" and didn't realize it, so some of these anagrams are one "A" shy of correct. If you happen upon this list and wish to point out an incorrect anagram, or if you have one to contribute, please send an e-mail my way with “Stairway Anagram” in the subject.
