Always Fresh

For my money, this is the best music in the whole wide world. I don't say that lightly, as it's a been my super-ultra-favorite since junior high school. George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. This piece made me try music at college for two semesters, but music majors worked too hard for my taste. Generally speaking, if I don't get things right the first time around, I move-on to something else. (Most things did come easily, lucky for me.) People with drive and persistence have a decided advantage over those to who/whom things come too easily. (Too bad grammar didn't sink-in either.) Leonard Bernstein performs:







The french horns in the second part always make me a little misty-eyed. Sap.

Thanks, Anne for the heads-up on the YouTube posting.
