  • What a fun way to take a speed reading course while enjoying to flavor of the old time movies!

  • Indeed nice cover of Deep Purple's Burn ;)

  • @konked wow I thought I was the only one who noticed the similarity between these two songs...and Acknowledgement from A Love Supreme by John Coltrane is also basically the same tune, just "more minimal" (yikes! an oxymoron)

  • burn

  • Love it! I play this at a sligtly slower tempo tho.

  • Great concept..."Follow the Lack of a Bouncing Ball"! This could bring back the '20s!

  • i'm related to george gershwin (great nephew)

  • They knew how to have fun with music then. This just makes you feel good. Long live George Gershwin!

  • Thanks for the vid Aaron !

  • this inspired deep purple's Burn

  • Wow great clip and I know how much work that would have been synching the lyrics to the tune. May have been commented already but who did this version?

  • This version was performed by the wonderful Savoy Orpheans, the resident orchestra at the swanky Savoy Hotel, London during the 20s and 30s. They were also on BBC radio.

  • thanks I will look out for records

  • Excellent posting. I have always loved Gershwin and especially to hear it in the 1920s style in the way it was intended to be heard.

  • I've listened to this a hundred times I should think and I never tire of it. The Savoy Orpheans were absolutely wonderful and George Gershwin was a genius.

  • Gershwin is great. Aaron Copland is one of my favorites.

  • Quite lovely, indeed, even if I'm a bit old-fashioned for this sort of thing.

  • Have you played this song transcribed by Earl Wild. Its great!

  • wow, like your style of "SHEETmusic2008"

  • Ahhh what a lovely trip back in time and thnkyou soo muhuyc sharing,a wonderful video.

  • Thanks for your comments O. You know how much Miffy and I like it.

  • And I do certainly agree!!! This is one of my favourites. I cherish these videos about the roaring twenties. Thank God for Gershwin and his swinging music!

  • Wow, this is SO good. I'm so delighted to hear this version of the great Gershwin, the best composer of the 20th century indeed!

  • I couldn't agree more with you Miffy. As George says in the lyric the rhythm is so infectious it drives you insane. You have to get up and dance. What an absolute gem this is. Aaron you're a bloody genius.

  • What a fabulous version of the great George Gershwin song. The Savoy Orpheans played at the Savoy Hotel in London for years.

  • bloody hell what's this? ive travelled through time was that louise brooks doing the charleston at 1/22 :)
