Sheila Gorman
is alive and well, I'm happy to report.
Excellent tip, Anon
Thank you for writing of Gershwin's song! I would never have known and it has to be the most thrilling - trilling - bit of music I know! What a terrific piece of trivia. Thank you!
P.S. That's another thing I love about this place - you never know WHAT you will learn!!
Is she still alive?
This is such an adorable and precious moment, with Daddy showing her exactly where her chubby little finger clicks the shutter to take the doll's photo herself, much to her delight. She can't be more than 2, which would make her approximately 91 now. I can't think of a sweeter, happier picture than this, thank you.
Rhapsody In Blue
It was Gorman that George Gershwin, and his arranger Ferde Grofe, were thinking of when they wrote the famous glissando that opens Rhapsody In Blue, and Gorman indeed led off the premiere of the work as part of Paul Whiteman's band.
