GERSHWIN: TALK ABOUT GENIUS!!

George Gershwin

Here is a story told by Robert Russell Bennett, Broadway's most gifted and famous orchestrator:

"As for George, you couldn't expect anything intellectual out of him at all. His mind didn't---he just didn't have an intellect. He had a talent where he'd sit down at the piano and the piano would play him, a lot of these things he'd look up and say, "Gee, that's great!". He didn't know where the things were coming from, he had no idea."

Isn't that amazing?? Talk about genius!
