Scene Around
Am I Proud! .
The song Of Thee I Sing written by my 2nd cousins (on my fathers side), George and Ira Gershwin, became the first musical to win a Pulitzer Prize on Oct. 10, 1935 (way before I was born!). Also, the wonderful musical opera Porgy and Bess opened on Broadway before I was born. It was written by them as well and with Dubois Heywood. (I m NOT so old!)
On my very first CD, I recorded five of the Gershwin s great songs. I titled the CD Dreamer on the 18th Floor in honor of the Orlando Citrus Club where I was performing.
