"Rhapsody in Blue" Premiere
By Bruce Clark

My mother attended the premiere performance of Gershwin's Rhapsody
in Blue!  She told me that it was not well received.  Many people did
not like it at all.  I guess it took some time before people got used
to it.

Bruce Clark

 [ A snowstorm subdued New York on the night of the concert, and so
 [ Whiteman was amazed to see a full house of curious concert-goers
 [ when he peeked from behind the curtain.  All the music critics from
 [ the big newspapers were there, but some silently departed before
 [ the concert ended!   -- Robbie
