December 6, 2010
Ira Gershwin, brother of George and Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricist (for Of Thee I Sing, 1932), was born on this day in 1896.
“It’s very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, but ever and a day.
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know.
May just be passing fancies and in time may go.
But, oh my dear, our love is here to stay . . . “
—Ira Gershwin
