 Hello, neighbors. Hiya, boys and girls. Say, did you ever hear of a fellow named George Gershwin? Sure, I guess everybody knows his music. Rhapsody in Blue, American in Paris, Of Thee I Sing, and a couple of hundred other great compositions. George Gershwin kind of took this 20th century of ours, slicked down its hair, dressed it up in its Sunday best, and set it to music. So we're dedicating our whole broadcast tonight to the memory of the late George Gershwin. Axel Stoddall has whipped up 30 minutes of fine arrangements for baton and orchestra.
