A friend brought me a program from a production of Crazy for You which is based on the 1920's George and Ira Gershwin musical Girl Crazy.
By reading the program I learned:
Ethel Merman was discovered in Girl Crazy. Her rendition of "I Got Rhythm" was a show stopper.Thanks, friend.
George Gershwin told Merman:"Don't ever let a music teacher near you. He'll only ruin you."
When Ira Gershwin was asked, "Which comes first, the melody or the words?" he replied, "The contract."
