I don't post much music stuff on here, so I figured I'd share this rough take of a piece that I've been getting back under my fingers. This is My One and Only by George and Ira Gershwin, as played by George Gershwin in 1928. This is my own note-for-note transcription from Gershwin's recording. I hope you enjoy!

George Gershwin taking a bow after the premiere of Porgy and Bess, October 10, 1935, at the Alvin (now the Neil Simon) Theater. "The starry opening drew Hollywood royalty, including Katharine Hepburn and Joan Crawford. After the ovations died down, the A-listers headed to a glamorous after-party, where George Gershwin played excerpts from his score on the piano."—NY Times
(Who knew that "A-listers" was a phrase in the 1930s?)

*Reading an interview with a famous composer*
Woah, that’s really interesting, I didn’t know about that
Interviewer: so how do you start writing a song?
Composer: okay, so basically the very first thing I have to do is get my chicken suit on, and then I start slapping the piano keys as George Gershwin’s Fascinating Rhythm is played in the background, -specifically the Ella Fitzgerald version, otherwise I just write the same 4 chords again and again- and then the ideas start popping in my head, it usually works best if I’m bawk bawking like a chicken as I do it
Interviewer: oh’ what?-
Composer: but that just gets me the ideas, and the rest idk just comes to me,
