Now that I am up to 1924 in my deep-dive of all known recorded music and have heard the song for the first time, I can now say that it is FUCKING AWESOME is what it is. I need to listen to it twenty-to-thirty more times to really get a handle on what’s going on with all the little sections. Amazing!

This is one of the greatest songs of all-time.
Banjo legend Bela Fleck released an amazing album of Rhapsody in Blue and other Gershwin pieces earlier this year.

The concept behind my 1924 mix is "everything goes in the middle of Rhapsody In Blue" but guess you've heard that Mr. Snrub.
