Re: Condon Collection CDs - Gershwin
By Robbie Rhodes

In his liner notes Denis Condon implied that, like other piano roll artists, George Gershwin performed in "New York supper clubs and speakeasies."

Perhaps Gershwin occasionally played a song for fun, as he did at parties, but I've not read that he was employed as a lounge pianist/entertainer. He had better ways to earn a living!
