Any suggestions or favorites out there? I had the pleasure of doing a similar butchering job a few years ago. While I didn't search very hard, the only recorded version I have is "Gershwin Plays Gershwin". Frankly, I was always suspicious of whether or not that was actually Gershwin playing, because it was one of those cheap CDs with no liner notes. If you know of any other good versions, please let me know. Another thing I've been curious about: Do you happen to know if the solo version is an arrangement that was done by Gershwin, or was it done by some music publisher? Mine is published by Warner Brothers Publications, and it doesn't say anything about who did the solo arrangement. I was always curious about that. Sorry that I have more questions than answers on your post! Charles Neuman PTG Assoc, Long Island - Nassau
