y 1928, composer George
Gershwin was rich and
famous, a glamour-boy
musician celebrated for the
song "Swanee" and his jazz-flavored
concert piece Rhapsody in Blue.
Yet Gershwin was so insecure about
his compositional skills that he asked
the great French composer Maurice
Ravel for music lessons.
=)\
"How much money did you
make last year?" Ravel asked the
30 year old Gershwin.
'About $200,000," Gershwin
replied.
"Then perhaps it is I who
should be studying with you,"
said Ravel, who declined to take
on Gershwin as a student.
Gershwin needn't have wor-
ried. History has treated him
kindly. Now, in the 100th
anniversary year of his birth —
the son of Russian-Jewish immi-
grants, he was born Sept. 26,
1898, in Brooklyn, N.Y. —
Gershwin is practically an Ameri-
can icon, revered as musical pio-
neer and showman, Tin Pan Alley
protege and Pulitzer Prize winner
(for the 1931 musical Of Thee I

Singer-pianist Michael Feinstein —

ing Gershwin interpreter who
appeared in West Bloomfield earlier
this year in a Jewish Community Cen-

New York tomorrow night starring in
Lincoln Center's free centennial cele-

the Gershwin repertoire, he asserts.
"Gershwin's songs are so singable,"
