I just finished reading Patricia Craighead George’s “The Cats of Roxville Station.” She describes the hidden lives of some feral cats in a little NE US town, and a boy wants to make friends with one. How wonderfully good she is at describing how cats “speak”! How they act! Right away, one learns that cats live in a world of intensely smelled odors: Everything is a smell . .
George and Ira Gershwin. Ira was the elder brother. The song was introduced by Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in May, 1937, in the film Shall We Dance, in the scene where they’ve been roller skating. However, Mr. Astaire also recorded “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” with Johnny Green and His Orchestra on February 19, 1937.
At last I figured out one of these right!
