Gershwin's 'Summertime'

George Gershwin's "Summertime" from "Porgy & Bess" played on tenor recorder

The morning after I posted this I received the following message via YouTube:

Dear sir,

You've probably never heard about The Summertime Connection, a small international group of collectors of recordings of Summertime (the Gershwin song). I'm a member of that group and as such I'm very grateful for your recording of our beloved song. As far as I know it's the first time Summertime has ever been played on a tenor recorder (to tell the truth, I had never heard about such an instrument). Your recording is number 15,046 in our collection.

I try to mention all first time occasions and I should like to do that with your recording also, but if possible with your real name. Also I should like to know the place and date of the recording.

All these data are incorporated in our private database only.

I really hope to hear from you,
Hans K. van der Sluijs, The Netherlands
