Piece #39 - But Not For Me - George Gershwin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnfUN6bBAg4

I am proud (and a little embarrassed) to admit that George, my dog, is named after Gershwin. I guess I am not ashamed at all, by now I have fully embraced my dorkiness.

Factoids:
  • Originally appeared in Gershwin's musical Girl Crazy.

  • This is a wonderfully, poignant feeling of which we all can relate - that of defeated love.
  • There is something wonderful and melancholy about this piece, particularly this performance by our dear friend, Ella.

Happy Tuesday!
