Love it, and love Gershwin. "Walking The Dog " always lifts my spirits!

This is a particular and mean I girl favourite of our. We saw Andre Oregon play it whilst also conducting the LSO some years ago. We both say there with years streaming. Thank you for pointing out this important anniversary.

Thank you Dinahmo. This was my father's favourite piece of music and I grew up hearing it often. It really defines the roaring 20's.

Thank you Dinahmo. I didn't realise it was Rhapsody in Blue's centenary.
It's a wonderful piece of music.

2024 is the centenary of Rhapsody in Blue. There is a brilliant recording of Bernstein playing the piano and conducting the New York Philarmonic.

Something to cheer the spirits in present time of uncertainty.

I hope that some of you enjoy it.
