Eleanor Powell will show you how to warm up.

I think this is from "Broadway Melody of 1938".

Presently reading _The George Gershwin Reader_.
He was a fun guy, and when the end suddenly
came, he didn't suffer at all.

I wish I knew the name of the pianist in the
opening boogie-woogie bars of the
YouTube clip.

Another related book is _A Private View_, the memoir of Irene
Mayer Selznick, daughter and wife of moguls, the first whose
studio made the previous clip, and the second whose studio
made "Gone With the Wind". She describes a privileged
life.

(By the way, though L.B. was born in Minsk, he grew up
in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.)

After the breakup of her marriage with Selznick, she
moves east where she becomes a successful
theatrical producer, bringing to fruition pieces like
"A Streetcar Named Desire" and "The Chalk
Garden." She brings Siobahn McKenna
to the United States for the second.


Okay, back to algorithm development.
