Again, WTH kind of dumbgrunt are you?!?!

From what little I know, Gershwin was a genius.

Never heard of this before but while studying my racing form from TBP, I kept it on in the background.

Beautiful piece!

The things you learn on FR. Sometimes at the same time! :)

The guy wrote it while riding a train (the 1920’s), and you can hear some of the sounds of a steam engine!!

Just a plain old Grunt, nothing out of the ordinary.
My wife could fill your ear!

Gershwin is one of my favorites.

He and a collaborator wrote “Swanee” on coffee-shop napkins in 15 minutes.

If you like Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, you should give his Piano Concerto in F a try. Very pretty!

Damn, DP. I don’t think I would admit to that.
It’s like saying you never heard of Humphrey Bogart. ;)
